this “fast” address book called gfa, cannot import any address book, cannot export any address record, cannot exchange data with tipical applications (e mail clients, groupware, skype ecc. ecc) using that “fast” address book just means to waste time.
anyway I really appreciate your initiative: find new solutions ad present them to the community… thank you very much for all you are doing for us.
best regards

Does anyone know a more capable address book app that provides a web frontend as well as LDAP directory backend, and sync to/from Outlook on Windows? It would be great to integrate addresses across phones, Windows, Linux, etc.

I think pimlico’s contacts project is very interesting. Contacts is a small, lightweight addressbook that uses libebook, part of EDS. This is the same library that GNOME Evolution uses, so all contact data that exists in your Evolution addressbook is accessible via Contacts. Contacts features advanced vCard field type handling and is designed for use on hand-held devices, such as the Nokia 770 or the Sharp Zaurus series of PDAs.
To use, add the relevent line for your distribution to /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update.
