Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
I'm sorry for some bad expressions in this text, but my mothertounge in german:
I switched to Ubuntu from Mac, where i used "Addressbook" (included in Mac OS
X) for organizing my contacts. I already used Outlook on Windows before
switching to Mac, and when i first started Addressbook on Mac I was really
suprised to have, what a allways wanted to have: a really felixble addressbook.
What i mean, is that there you can put a tag for every entery in the contact in
order to organize it better. It also helps you to remind of the meaning of
certain information. For example some people heave several "private" or "work"
numbers. Therefore you can give custom tags like "private, number in offce" ord
"private, number in the gardenhouse", etc. it's acctualy even more important
for worknumbers or even addresses. For example, today studens have more than
two private addresses, like one of the house of the partens, one of the
grandparents, one of the girlfriend, etc.
What i want to say in general, that it would be great if you could
improve Evolution in future in this way, that you can make it more
flexible, and you are not just bound to the given fileds and categories,
etc.
Of course i understand, that most of the categories are specified by the
vCard-format, but as i browsed through these specifications, i'm sure that you
can nevertheless make it more flexible! I already thought about writing my own
webdatabaseApp for implimantig these ideas, but i don't want to reinvent the
wheel! I would like to use Evolution in future!
If you wish I will try to find out together with you what should be changed to
make Evolutionaddressbook more flexible!
