PIM API
Submitted by Patrick Ohly @pohly

Description
The API implements in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) use cases around contacts:
- cache address books from peers (primarily phones connected via Bluetooth) in local address books
- provide a unified address book that combines a configurable (and changing) subset of the local address books
- fast phone number lookup
- browsing and searching in the unified address book
Tasks that are expected to be done by the user of this API:
- identify peers and their capabilities
- decide how and when peer data should be cached
- define which data goes into the unified address book
In other words, the API provides the mechanisms and the user the policy.
This is a meta-issue that tracks the initial definition and development of that API in SyncEvolution. The corresponding public discussion is here (please use gmane's "reply" feature to join the mail thread): http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution/4009
