[Chandler-dev] Contacts parcel update

[Ted Leung]

Ok,

I spent some time this afternoon playing around with this.   Here's a  
patch that got things working under the alpha4 trunk, and allows it  
run from a directory outside the main Chandler directory.  I make no  
guarantees that this is all the changes that were needed.

I did run into some problems importing my Mac address book (500  
cards) but these appear to mostly be problems with vObject.  It would  
be great to get some better error reporting / debugging information  
when something bad happens in the import process.  It does look like  
the import only populates the name fields and shoves the rest into  
the RAW field.   That field should probably be taller if that's all  
the UI that we are going to have at the moment.

In alpha4, the addressbook collection includes the triage status  
column which seems odd.

As Jeffrey said, it's a good start.

What are you planning to do next?
