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.

  - Netscape messenger, and LDIF in general

  functionality.

  common addressbooks for different people.
