The KDE addressbook
================================================================================
If you want kab to be extended, please send a mail to me. Also 
contact me if you want to comment some of the features mentioned 
below. Send the mail to mirko@kde.org
Thanks.
PS: I am still looking for volunteers who try writing the import filters. 
    Most often I do not have the different other addressbook programs myself.
PS1: This TODO list deals with tasks to add to the KDE addressbook
application. If you want the library to be extended, read kdelibs/kab/TODO.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
° automatic menus for kmail and ktalk
° [done for HTML] add export methods -> a matter of the applications
° add import methods:
  - Netscape messenger
  - Microsoft outlook
  - bbdb
  - Pine
  - Corel 8 - Suite address book 
  - Time & Chaos
  - what else?
° [done] better dialog to enter the birthday, especially directly
° [done] some functions in the main display, like clickable parts 
  (email/talk addresses, possibly telephony support?),
° configurable sorting order (already prepared)
° create and add Max Berger's Outlook importer tool
° add telephony support where the telephone number is automatically dialed
  using the modem, the user can pick up his telephone after the connection 
  is created
  HELP WANTED: Does anybody know how to do that?
° send mail to a bunch of people at once using the keywords and the search 
  functionality. 
° [done] IMPORTANT: Possibility to use different files and, most important, 
  common addressbooks for different people.
