Subprojects: GPE-Contacts
|
| Function |
GPE-Contacts is a simple but flexible personbal contacts manager.
It stores contact details such as addresses and is able to categorize them.
It has a very scalable user interface supporting a wide variety of
target devices. GPE-Contacts uses DBUS to connect to
service provider applications (GPE-Beam and GPE-Bluetooth) to provide
IrDA (IrOBEX) and Bluetooth (BtOBEX) support for beaming them in vCard format.
The application supports both plain GTK and the Maemo software environments.

| Technical |
Apart from the scalable user interface GPE-Contacts makes use of a very
flexible database design provided by libcontactsdb. The fields a contact consists
of can be modified by an XML description without modifications to the
application itself. Major parts of the user interface can be controlled
by a keyboard (if present). The import of vCard files is possible from the
command line and from the graphical user interface.
