Given the discussion about a "simple" database, it struck me that I
might just use properties and column mode. Dynamic fields and views,
hotlinks, VC, text file...

Now, I know this won't give me synchronization. Unfortunately I think
that's a lost cause currently, I just want a way to find a contact.
Fast finding on the CLI?
awk 'BEGIN {RS="\n\n\\* " ; IGNORECASE=1} /chief/ {print $0}' Contacts.org
I can even adapt that to give me emails for mutt.
Yes there's no way to push this to CSV and back, but I could write
something in an hour in Perl to do so. (feature idea! Export
column-view as csv...)
I thought I'd post here for feedback prior to committing my contacts
to this format.
Thanks.
