thanks Ian. That looks promising. The draft specs help too as I'm
looking at implementing my own solution right now. I *was* going to
just do import/export of vCards, but the CardDav may let me remove a
step or two...

I am starting to get a large stack of business cards and want to set
up a centralized listing for these. I rebuild my workstation on a
regular basis, and don't want to have to worry about backing up my
contacts info. Also, I want to be able to access my contact list if
I'm using my laptop, or away from my own computers - maybe a web
interface. This seems to call for a server, rather than a client tool.
What do you use?
I know I can set up an LDAP server, but then I'd need to worry about
schema compatibility (i.e. schema A might work with Evolution, but
not Thunderbird, etc.). What other options are there?

Ok, I realize I'm way late to this party, but I think I came across the
answer to your question while doing my semi-annual "can I ditch Exchange
now?" google-ing, and the answer is CardDAV. Someone did think of this
very problem (someone at Apple, apparently).
Unfortunately it would seem the only real working implementation out
there that anyone is talking about is OS X Server's Address Book Server.
Probably not what you're looking for. ;-)
But, it's a standard, and there seems to be work on getting other
implementations going. Check out this site for both server and client
plug-in links: http://carddav.calconnect.org/
