Paul and dev's.

Funny i should get this email now, i have just spent the day starting redeveloping of address book for my personal use (and hopefully others) by adding the function of grouping contacts. This is using drag and drop, the same as mail section and is using the same functions thou i need to sit back and address the javascript to make some of the functions universal as i can see them being used elsewhere ( actually the javascript is a completely different topic and one i would like to bring up once i have the architecture in my head more). The functionality will be almost idential to that of apples addressbook app.

I'll post a link when i get it near complete just a few things to finish off  (almost there).

I'm also implementing vCard support for import and export ( in a variety of formats ) i have the scripts handy just need to plug them in..

Would also like to add the support of upcoming birthday alerts that can be turned off in "options".

As for the contact image if this is going to be added the we would need to look at GD/imagemagik for resizing of uploaded images to be added to the database when creating a contacts.

Any other thoughts would be great as I'm fully enjoying getting into the redesign of this.
