Latest News

For latest news keep an eye on the planet.mozilla.org blog feeds or more specifically Mark's and Joshua's blogs.

Roadmap & Work In Progress

The roadmap isn't always detailed but gives a general short to medium term outlook on where the address book is heading.

The roadmap also gives some idea of the work currently in progress. We try to predict where something will land, but it doesn't always happen due to developers needing to work on other things.

Help Wanted

There are many areas we wish to improve and would like help with, please have a look at the MailNews:Address Book Help Wanted page for more information.

Information Wanted

We'd like some information on how other products export LDIF files, please head over to MailNews_Talk:Address_Book_Help_Wanted and add some information if you are able to.

Useful Information

General Links

LDAP Logging

We've now enabled an LDAP logging facility on trunk builds of SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. More information may be found at LDAP Logging.

LDAP Alpha Schema

Before Thunderbird 1.5 and SeaMonkey 1.0 we made some changes to the Address Book to allow more flexible attribute mapping. Additionally, the some of the default attributes changed, so we've put together an alpha version for the Mozilla Address Book schema find it here: LDAP Address Book Schema

Wish List

What do you want to see in address book? Many wishes/enhancements have been discussed previously.

Please let us use the discussion for what ideas we would like to see address book include in future.

+=== General Links ===
-This is a list of things we are currently looking at/working on with respect to address book. These are things known to the MailNews devs, note we'll try to keep the list up to date, but don't guarentee it, and schedules won't apply here - We have limited people for address book and we work on it when we can.
+* [[MailNews:Address Book Code Structure]]
+* [[MailNews:Address Book Bug Locations]]
-* Remove nsFileSpec from Address Book (complete and fixed :-) ). This is really a tidy up to the backend so that we're not using obsolete code.
+=== LDAP Logging ===
-* Drag and Drop fixes ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35837 bug 35837] & others)
-* Address Book autocomplete transfer to toolkit (WIP)
-* Misc bugs e.g.
-** ldap fixes
-** UI fixes
-==== What's being thought about? ====
+We've now enabled an LDAP logging facility on trunk builds of SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. More information may be found at [[MailNews: LDAP Address Books#LDAP_Logging|LDAP Logging]].
-This list contains things that we'd like to be able to get round to doing, or have previously been discussing. Again, no schedules and same comments apply as above.
+=== LDAP Alpha Schema ===
-* [[MailNews:Address Book Interface Formats]]
+Before Thunderbird 1.5 and SeaMonkey 1.0 we made some changes to the Address Book to allow more flexible attribute mapping. Additionally, the some of the default attributes changed, so we've put together an alpha version for the Mozilla Address Book schema find it here: [[MailNews: LDAP Address Books#LDAP_Address_Book_Schema_-_Alpha_Version|LDAP Address Book Schema]]
-* [[MailNews:Address Book Native Formats]]
-* 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?
-* VCard - we need to either rewrite this or find a decent library.
-* Remove nsDirPrefs.h and nsDirPrefs.cpp - they are a real mess and get in the way quite a bit.
-* LDAP
-** Writeable LDAP address books
-** [[MailNews:LDAP and Large Searches]]
