Re: [SM-DEVEL] Address book

[Marc G. K. <ma...@it...>]

Hello all,

There is already a very nice calendar at sourceforge, 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pbcs/ (I see Thomas also mentioned PBCS :-)

Since a few days I'm also added to the developer-list :-)
I Just printed RFC2445 RFC2446 and RFC2447 (vCalendar). If you want to
develope a calendar solution then I think it will be wise to follow RFC
standards about it. Maybe we could join in our efforts in one system following
vCalendar.

About the addressbook. In SM 1.3 we make use of the addressstructure like
described in RFC2060. The advantage of it is that we already separated the
personal name, the mailbox name and the host name. Maybe you can use that as a
base for the addressbook.
What I realy recommand is make use of RFC2425 and RFC2426. That's where vCard
is described and I think Outlook also make use of such a standard.
