http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20304

Scott recently landed some vCard support on the trunk, see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14373
(Note, the UI changes for that have not been ported over to Thunderbird.  See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221319)

The changes needed for vCard import and export will be to the addressbook and vCard code (now both in mozilla/mailnews/addrbook/src), and to the import wizard (mozilla/mailnews/import), and to the addressbook UI (mozilla/mailnews/addrbook/resources for the mozilla suite, and somewhere else for Thunderbird.)

As you may or may not have noticed, there's been almost no movement on the vCard project. One of the reasons for this is because I've been very very busy. Another reason is that I'm afaid that the vCard project may be obsolete already. I've been hearing for some time now that vCard support has been added to the latest Thunderbird nightlies (I've only got 0.3), and if anyone can fill me in on the extent of the support, that would really help. You'd think the project owner would keep on top of this stuff, but hey,... he's a n00b ;) But seriously, if anyone can fill me in, it would be much appreciated. From what i can tell, the vCard support implemented thus far allows for attaching a vCard as a signature to outbound emails. Can anyone corroborate this?

To all the people that stuck around: Thanks for your perseverance during this time of almost no development. :) I'm glad to announce though that vCard development has restarted, albeit at a snail's pace. I intend to checkin the source so all those interested can take a look. Having thought about it long and hard, I've decided to approach vCard slightly differently than before. I've implemented a wizard interface for the extension to make it generally easier to use, and more intuitive than my previous designs. Should turn out quite cool :) Well, look forward to the source once I have a decent enough pile of code to make it worthwhile.

I simply wasn't able to dedicate the time that I thought I would've been able to. I'm not sure if the features I had proposed have been eclipsed by Thunderbird's native vCard support, but I'm sure there is still something to be offered by a vCard extension (perhaps more advanced import/export of vCards). I suppose I should offer the project to anyone who is willing to take over management of it... Any takers?? :) Thanks, Sohail Mirza Connie Elliott wrote the following on 14/11/2004 7:33 PM: > Hello. > > I saw that the last update to the vCard project mailing list was back > in February.

As I expressed to others and have expressed on this mailing list, I really would love to be able to devote the time to the vCard project, but I am unfortunately not in a position to do that at the moment.
