Hello! I am attempting to integrate the Mac OS X Address Book into OpenOffice.org. I noticed that the Mozilla Address Book, Thunderbird Address Book, Outlook Address Book and Outlook Express Address Book are all implemented through the mozab module (in connectivity/source/drivers/mozab). I noticed the details of such a strategy here: http://dba.openoffice.org/specifications/address_book_architecture.html (i.e., Outlook and Outlook Express both have wrappers to make them work like Mozilla/Thunderbird). On the other hand, it looks like the Evolution Address Book has its own module (in connectivity/source/drivers/evoab).
Is the preference to integrate new address books within the mozab module unless it is impossible to get them to work with Mozilla's XPCOM system? Or is there some more complicated strategy of which I'm not aware? In other words, what is OpenOffice.org's philosophy about where to integrate new address books (within mozab or as their own module)? Thank you! - Omer.
