Support for an address book plugin?

(1/2) > >>

motionman95:
I'm thinking on making one - and I was wondering if anyone would support me on doing it. Does anyone else want this? Maybe it's not needed...I don't know.
Anyway, what are your ideas?  ??? Maybe I should do it just for practice's sake.

nls:
that sounds like a good idea to me, it would be nice to be able to import vcard contacts to it.

Chronon:
Just so you're aware, someone worked on this idea previously: http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4728?type=4

motionman95:
I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to store contacts. I'm thinking of using something like what the DiskTidy plugin uses, like this:

It would be even better if Rockbox C supported XML, then I could use that.

Chronon:
Wouldn't it be better to use an existing standard, like vCard?
