Addressbook replacement: CardDAV
Hi;
I was looking at the IP_Clearance Wiki, and the known problem of
replacing Mozilla.
I have noticed that for many things Gecko is being replaced with
Apple's Webkit some further investigation shows that Apple
Released their Calendar and Contacts server under AL2:
http://trac.calendarserver.org/
And CardDAV is the protocol they use:
http://carddav.calconnect.org/
A lot of work, but may be worth the look.
cheers,
Pedro.

Yes, OOo has a dependency on Mozilla code (nss library) for digital
signing on all non-Windows platforms (including the UI for it). But the
address book stuff is not located in nss, it's in the Seamonkey lib we
have in the "mozilla module". It's completely unrelated to the digital
signing code.

Mathias

Hi;
I am very new to this but it doesn't look like that would be
an issue compared the rest of what needs to be rewritten :-P.
Andre "wikied" this link on how things work right now:
http://dba.openoffice.org/specifications/address_book_architecture.html
CardDAV is a completely different (new) IETF standard and
it looks like we need WebDAV to start with.
The Mulberry vCard Library looks good for our purposes,
though:

Looks interesting.
I thought there was a dependency on the Mozilla address book with regard to digital signature certificates as well.
Do you happen to know if that is an actual dependency and whether carddav can handle it (private keys especially)?

Gecko is the rendering engine of Mozilla, at least last time I checked.
We don't use that. We use code from Seamonkey and nss, but not Gecko.

I think it is not correct, the gecko is added during OOo 3.4
development, used in Base for Seamonkey addressbook connection.
It worth keeping it some way, if it is not possible as built-in, than
keep it as extensian.

Hi Mathias;
Oh ... Webkit doesn't have addressbook stuff, it just
pointed me to the CardDAV stuff.
http://carddav.calconnect.org/implementations/librariestools.html
I think we should should use the Mulberry vCard Library
for address-books.
cheers,
Pedro.

We don't use Gecko anywhere in OOo. Besides that, Webkit is much more
evil than Mozilla because on Windows it requires proprietary libraries
from Apple (or using suboptimal cairo based libraries).
