It shouldn't, it calls the interface with the contacts ID and it is returned the record in the agreed upon way based on the programming interface Specs. Some people call this "contract programing" I believe.that is exactly what Evolution does. There is an API for accessing calendar, contacts, etc, and any app that wants to access them uses that. There's no need to have to know DB formats and stuff like that.
That was just a made up example for my sermon.
Are you guys developing generic GUI interfaces for it that can be called
like "Open File" and "Save File" in Gnome - only for contacts,
calendars, tasks - {new,edit,delete}. That would be sweet.
Where can I read more about eds?
