This page is for discussion of new ideas for new features for Address Book.
If you want to help develop for the address book please see the developers page for more information.

Ideas so far:
- PCSync - we need PCSync-Support to manage contacts with Palm and PDAs
- Manage Contacts in Trees and SubTrees per Address-Book to categorical the Address-Book-Entries
- Birthday interlink with optional Calendar (e.g. Sunbird-Project)
- Opportunity to create new forms (see MS-Outlook 2003 ;-)
- Certificate GnuPG interlink with optional GnuPG-Plugin (e.g. Enigmail-Project)
- Quick-Filter for Address-Entries as a ToolBar with Entries A, B, ..., Z (see MS-Outlook 2003 ;-)
- Prevent Double Entries
- Define "Double Entries"... just the email address the same? or the whole card? Some people want two cards with the same email address. --Standard8 14:11, 7 Oct 2005 (PDT)
- Double Enrtrie = The same email address. Two cards for the same email address isn't favorable. In Future I hope we have List of email address with the affiliated Display Name. What should one need 2 cards for an electronic mail address still then for? --Griffin 00:12, 8 Oct 2005 (GMT+01:00)
- 2 different people using the same email address. Though if we do it right, then perhaps it won't be entirely necessary. --Standard8 03:21, 8 Oct 2005 (PDT)
- Ok, this is an argument. I probably don't have one could carry out this problem about a query taken into account this case because such a fall from my circle of friends isn't known to me; -). The Address book simply likes to ask the user like him it liked... --Griffin 13:53, 9 Oct 2005 (GMT+01:00)

Does a time schedule already exist when the new address book will be completed or when you shall start with the innovations? Within 76 days is Christmas and the ideal Christmas present would be a new address book ;) --Griffin 16:33, 9 Oct 2005 (GMT+01:00)
Sorry, no time schedule. At the moment there are only a couple of people actively working on address book & they don't have a lot of time to spare (including me).
We're not planning on rewrite all the current code/redesigning the whole thing either. Certain things also really should happen before/alongside others e.g. clean-ups to the back end, fixing drag & drop - getting the basics working a bit better. We're always willing to accept patches from others. So if you want to try and help please do. --Standard8 12:15, 11 Oct 2005 (PDT)
