Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Addbook vs addressbook

[Brian Johnson]

Should be reviewed by others as well, but I think that we are mostly moving in 
the
same direction

Might be useful to use the cdb docs as a more complete base description than 
what we
have (I think that some of my suggested modifications to the db layout also 
apply to
this db layout)

Perhaps someone could add a link to the cdb docs to the wiki and confirm my 
opinion?

This is where my witty signature line would be if I bothered to edit this line
