Hallo Russell, I'm also searching for a contact manager since ages. What I want to try when I've time (tm): - GNU recutils - plain text database, avail. in Debian et al. http://www.gnu.org/software/recutils - http://www.nongnu.org/addressbook From the author of recutils but abandoned. Elisp, like lbdb but uses vcard3 format. Would be wonderful if somebody would update to [vx]card4. - Postgresql on the Desktop After having worked with Hadoop and looked into other NoSQL systems I'd like to have a closer look at old SQL stuff again. MySQL vulgarized me. ...But wouldn't it be better to use something semantic for contact management? Regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro
