-These are some ideas for the future of address book that have been discussed on IRC. They are not offical, and we might not get to some of them for a while, but they are under consideration.

-* [[MailNews:Address Book Interface Formats]]
+* [[MailNews:SASLRefactor]] Rework the mailnews SASL mechanisms into a saner state
-* [[MailNews:Address Book Native Formats]]
+* [[MailNews:HgMeetingNotes]] Notes from a meeting about hg repository strategy going forward
-* Remove nsFileSpec from Address Book - almost complete (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132180 bug 132180]). This is really a tidy up to the backend so that we're not using obsolete code.
-* Remove nsDirPrefs.h and nsDirPrefs.cpp - they are a real mess and get in the way quite a bit.
-* Address Book autocomplete transfer to toolkit (WIP)
-* VCard - we need to either rewrite this or find a decent library.
-* Drag and Drop fixes ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35837 bug 35837] & others)
-* Relayout the new/edit card dialogs
-** This would be to solve our current screen size issue
-** but would also be in preparation for the addition of more fields
-** [[MailNews: Address Book Card Fields]] - what fields do we want?
-* LDAP
-** Writeable LDAP address books
-** Virtual List Views - this would potentially speed up the viewing of LDAP cards in address book.
