Re: [Evolution-hackers] Evolution plugin with Mono

[Manuel de la Pena <manuel mps mac com>]

Hi,

I can define the application as a self updating address-book, where  
the data of the contacts can be modified b y the contact themselves,  
this is aiming to solve the problem of sharing contact information  
when we have contacts that are not from a company or that do not have  
place in a LDAP, in other ways is a RDB with  strong business rules.
Currently the local copy of the contacts information is stored in a  
sqlite database and I was planing to develop a plugin to fetch the  
contacts from there to evolution, since implementing the LDAP  
protocol on-top of the server daemon seems to be to much work, at  
least for a first version. I would relllay apreciate any ideas to  
solve the problem, although seems that using c is the strongest and  
easiest answer at the moment.
Thaks :)
