Hi, I wonder if it could be possible to elaborate a standard to let all applications on current free desktops share the same address book ?
For example it would permit to share the same contacts between for example: - claws-mail - kopete - kmail - evolution - ... Why this is important ? because I don't ant to open my MUA to search for phone numbers, because I think my jabber client should be integrated with my address book, ... I know that actually KDE have a central address book that can be used by all KDE applications, but I would like to have this possibility with all applications and not to be forced in any way. For example we could imagine a standard (and extensible) database using for example LDIF and stored in ~/.local/share/addresses/ And then we could configure every software to use this database (or not). I would like to see the same things with Mails (be able to switch MUA without loosing all the mails in local folders), but I think it is more important to start with contacts. Moreover, you don't change your MUA every day. So what do you think ? Maybe my idea of a shared database is not really good, but I don't see something else. If you have any ideas, please share. Also, if a such standard exists, I didn't find it (and it is obviously not applied), please give me pointers. Thanks.
