Roger, I'm interested in helping out with the address book
synchronization with the Windows Address Book. WAB exposes
an API that is essentially a subset of the MAPI interface, and I've
explored it enough to understand how it works and how to use it.
Unfortunately for BitPim, the API is written in C++, which is bad
because it will require interfacing with Python. Also, I don't know
any Python, so I could either 1) learn it and write everything
(feasible but potentially slow given my time constraints), or 2) write
a C++ interface to do the bulk of the work and then let you deal
with the Python integration. This is all, of course, under the
assumption that there is currently no one else working on WAB
funcitonality. Where does this module stand and what can I do to
help?
