The point is that I *never* used BBDB before…

I'll take a look at those and plan to somewhat develop my Elisp skills,
althogh proper manual would be nice to have as well…

Have you taken a look at this link?

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/UpgradeBBDB

It's only the bare minimum of information, but if you start trying to
sort things out using BBDB v3, and things go wrong, this page can often
be useful.

Also, people don't often realize that the README in the codebase, and
the code comments themselves, are actually fairly clear and informative.
It's not ideal, but it's pretty useful.

I second that! I would love a manual for V3. If I can help let me know.

The README in the BBDB repo might be a good place to start.

Hmm, I've checked around, and I think the manual was in a branch of a
long-deleted repository. I've got one other computer I can check, but
I'm not optimistic.

I'd be happy to contribute, though!

I'm trying to set up my bbdb address book again and in the course of
that I stumbled upon the manual that comes with the melpa package. This
prompted me to start a draft for a bbdb manual[1]. Can you please dig up
the stuff you have so I can merge this with mine so we have at least a
bare bones manual.

Thanks
