Hello Omer,

that looks promising - I look forward to it!

Definitely as own module. Over time, the mozab module has become
difficult to maintain, due to its dependency on a complex piece of
external code (basically a stripped Mozilla/Seamonkey version), which is
evolving itself.

If you redo something, please do an own, dedicated driver, this is the
much cleaner solution.

If you need inspiration :), I suggest looking at the KDE address book
driver. It was done by Éric Bischoff a while ago, is located in
connectivity/source/drivers/kab, a self-contained driver dedicated to
this one address book only, and it's probably the cleanest piece of
address book code you can find in our repository.

If you need further assitance, please don't hesitate to ask! The same
holds if you need help with the administrative tasks such as CWS
creation and the like (which can be ... overwhelming if you're not yet
used to it) - just ask!


Thanks & Ciao
Frank
