Layout

[raghunayyar]

@jancborchardt if we are moving in the DAV direction, I would also like you to give a direction to both contacts and calendar.

I would also vote for option 2. I like the split view a lot and many desktop apps like Gnome Contacts look similar.

[Henni]

Option 2 sounds good, but we should probably move the code for the split view to core.

[jancborchardt]

@Henni yep, definitely as soon as at least 2 apps use it we should move it into core. Let’s take what we use in the Mail app and apply it for the Contacts rework, and as soon as it all works for both apps we can move it to core.

I think too that the 2nd options is better, especially if another owncloud app uses this layout, I like consistency in different parts of the same system.

[jancborchardt]

@babelouest cool! It would be great if you’re in for collaborating on this app as well, as we aim to make it the main Contacts app. Hopefully with 9.0 as CardDAV should be moved into core by then. See owncloud/core#20184 (and maybe help to review :)

[marneu]

Option 2 would also be my choice.

[jancborchardt]

@marneu yeah, we’re working on that in https://github.com/Henni/contactsrework/tree/contactlist-design (branch contactlist-design) – any help welcome.

[jancborchardt]

@marneu just saw you’re based in Munich: Come join us at our next ownCloud meetup: http://www.meetup.com/owncloud-munich – @Henni, @DeepDiver1975, me and more are always there to hack on apps.

[marneu]

@jancborchardt: see you there ;)

[jancborchardt]

@marneu cool! Bring your laptop and ideally already look into the code beforehand. :)

[marneu]

@jancborchardt: laptop ok, code noop (helping on a different project in the moment). Coming as tourist for future tasks on oc. Maybe as helper on less time consumptive ops for the moment. ;)

[jancborchardt]

@marneu cool! Yeah, just keep in mind it’s a hands-on meetup, no presentations or anything like that. :)

[marneu]

@jancborchardt: Is ok, just give me time for snooping around - then we will see ;)

Just reminders for me,myself and my for vCards and the data entry part:
vCard export should have an etag within header not only within vcard (ref https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6352#section-6.3.2.3). Today it is a getlastmodified for the whole addressbook which could remain and be extended with an additional xml element cs:getctag based on last changed in total (further ref: "Retrieving calendar information":http://sabre.io/dav/building-a-caldav-client/) and finally one(!) "VERSION: 3.0" is enough .

Allow "star" mark the preferred phone entry (TEL), email (EMAIL), address (ADR) etc. (ref. "5.2 PREF":https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350

Allow more types/combinations like examples: "work,fax", "home,fax", "work,cell", "home,cell", "holiday,cell" and even own tags like "mytext" or "mytext,home".

Bring in a new field item: _item(N).URL and item(N).X-AB-ABLabel or item(N).X-ABRELATEDNAMES, for further relations, like: "mytext" => "don't call dad past 22:00" or "Sister" => "another Ref"

Full working example from gcontacts:

BEGIN:VCARD

N:Mustermann;Max;;Dr. med.;
EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET;TYPE=WORK:[email protected]
TEL;TYPE=WORK:[phone]

END:VCARD

Accept vCard import the same way like export.
Avoid : display in notes it should be : instead.

Closing because we solved it. Please help testing the Contacts app now!
