Hi Julien, Julien Danjou jul...@danjou.info writes: Following my short presentation at the Paris OrgCamp, I've now written a page and officially released org-contacts.

I don't use gnus (can't access personal email via pop/imap from behind work firewall) and so that feature isn't wholly attractive. It looks like I could use the remember template as well for my current method. Is there something else that you would put forth as the primary benefits of this system? I'm quite interested in it. Not yet. I'm working with Bastien to integrate a set of patches so the `org-contacts' function will print contacts in a better way. They will probably be more at the time come, we'll see. A few other questions: -- can you add additional fields? It looks like I could keep repeating the pattern in your .el like so: ,- |(defcustom org-contacts-SOME-NAME-property SOME-NAME | Name of the property for contact email address. | :type 'string | :group 'org-contacts) `- You add what you want. Org-contacts does not care at all. It just use some fields like EMAIL for Gnus completion, so it has to know it. Other fields are up to your choices. -- I will often need to look up a contact at work and reproduce it in an email. It would be nice to standardize the order of the properties and then have a way to export the whole contact into the kill-ring for pasting into email format. Do you think something like that could be integrated? For example 'M-x export-selected-contact' would take the highlighted area and create: ,- | Name | Title | Company | Email | Phone `- And perhaps one could define the fields for export (I wouldn't, for example, hardly ever need to export the address and my notes about the contact). That would be easy. Maybe a vcard export even? Just my thoughts! I was very excited to see this in my inbox and look around.
