Edgardo replied only to me, forwarding.
Yes, LDAP would do the job with all the extra fields needed.
Problem: evolution can only view LDAP contacts, no adding/editing. And
who provides the UI for editing the extra fields I listed as examples?
How about using those extra fields ( contacting people right from
evolution contact lists ) ?
If a LDAP server is the best choice, how will single users benefit these
contacting options? As a desktop user, I wouldn't like to configure a
LDAP server.
Would the solution be LDAP support for the rest of applications? (
gnomemeeting, instant messaging... )

What about LDAP?
Wasn't it designed to manage this king of information?
Evo already supports it...

Asunto: [Evolution-hackers] making contacs more useful
Hi
Like most of the people out there using evolution, the evolution
Contacts is my primary database of contacts. I even print it from time
to time to keep a printed phone list ( to keep the list shorter I have a
Phone group )
However, there are other applications which implement contacts and I
re-enter them again in a lot of places. For example, gnome-meeting and
gaim. Would be great to have these cooperate.
For start, what do you think about adding these fields to contacts:
* a video conference URL ( e.g. callto://... )
* instant messenger ( choose protocol and enter account ID ).
Next, when browsing contacts, have more options on right click:
* Video conference
* Instant message
* E-mail
I don't know if listing these with right click is the best option, as
the list may grow.
A plugin system with more ways of contacting would also be nice, e.g.
'Send SMS' ( which would call an application with cell phone as
parameter ).
Another idea : a gnome instant messenger could use evolution contacts
instead of managing the contacts itself. On start read the evolution
contacts database instead of it's own ( this way one doesn't have to
enter contacts again in the instant messenger ).
Gnome-meeting could do the same, but it might be better to drop Address
book completely and add people from it directly to evolution.
Your thoughts?
