Last week, I wrote a post about a plan to extend the up-and-coming B2G Contacts App into the next iteration of Thunderbird’s address book.<\/a><\/p>\n

After careful consideration, we’re going to redirect that effort a little bit.<\/p>\n

Instead of working on the Gaia Contacts App, I’ll instead be focusing on making the underlying Contacts API<\/a> work on desktop (at least for Thunderbird).<\/p>\n

We will then design an address book for Thunderbird, distinct from the Gaia Contacts app<\/em>, to operate on top of the Contacts API.<\/p>\n

I’m really sorry about the confusion. I made a mistake, and misinterpreted a few lines in an email, got excited, and then put up a blog post about it. My bad, and I’m sorry.\u00a0 Here’s a puppy:<\/p>\n

Ultimately, this is likely a good direction; extending a mobile application like the Contacts app to be a fully functional desktop address book was, in hindsight, a bit of a long-shot.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, this is all implementation detail. The good news is that Thunderbird will be getting a new address book, and now we have full-reign to design the user experience and interface ourselves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
