Documentation is still one of the bigger problems of BBDB 3. The README file provides a brief introduction. Otherwise you need to read the docstrings of the user variables, most of which are at the beginning of bbdb.el. The old documentation for v2 is of little help for v3 as too many things have changed. BBDB (v3 and any older versions I am aware of) does not yet support wanderlust. It should be fairly straightforward to implement this for BBDB 3. Yet I do not know anything about wanderlust. So I cannot do it myself. > Secondly when I installed this program, it came with a file called > bbdb-readme-txt that's a approximately 4400 lines of text...is > that supposed to be copy and pasted into the ~/.emacs file or > parsed and pick out what is needed... I do not know what this file is. The BBDB repository on savannah does not contain such a file. > "...This should be removed, and the following put in place: > a hierarchical structure of bbdb files, some perhaps read-only, > perhaps caching in the local bbdb.

Sounds like an old to-do list for a future version of BBDB.
