Hello, There are those of us in the directory services world that would like to use a directory server as the single repository for all identity information. Toward that end, it would be nice if all of the LDAP based address book clients (Netscape, Mozilla, Outlook, Windoze address book, and of course my favorite Evolution) used the same directory attributes for identity information.
Evolution seems to deviate significantly from most other address book clients in that it uses the homePostalAddress attribute to store the entire user address in. While this is a completely viable option, it isolates evolution from the other clients out there and makes it harder to keep the common identity information in sync. I would like to propose that you do two things to resolve this inconsistency: First, alter evolution so that it can support the standard postal address attributes in addition to homePostalAddress: streetAddress: $street_address l: $city st: $state postalCode: $zip_code Second, add a configurable option to allow an end user to specify which format that they would prefer to use. Thanks in advance, Brad _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
