While I do like using VM myself, I am rather hesitant to touch its code. I can't help thinking that it needs a major rewrite similar to BBDB. Of course, rewriting VM is yet a much bigger project than rewriting BBDB. Roland -- Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.

Yeah, I've been poking at it and you're right it would be hard to integrate it seamlessly, without any surprises to the user. Let me see if I can come up with an okay compromise. -- Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.

It appears vm-pcrisis.el is heavily making use of bbdb code. I wonder whether a BBDB3 version of vm-pcrisis.el has been produced so far? -- Rene -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

Also, it appears to me that it has some "regional" component assuming US snail mail addresses. In a new release I'd prefer to see code that can offer something to everyone. Right now, I'd prefer to give this lower priority. I'd find it more important to work towards a proper release of the current code.
