Description

Having the possibility to add a buddy from roster to Evolution address book would be great.

AFAIK evolution data server provides the interfaces to communicate with via bonobo. The contacts in Evolution are stored as vCards so they could be transferred from jabber vCards without (with minor) modifications.

I wrote some code time ago about this, but I think it is not correct to write module for specific application. For example, recently I use sylpheed, some people like might prefer thunderbird. If there are n applications, with contact lists and every application makes modules to the others then n*n/2 plugins have to be written. If we have a dispatcher application then only n plugins will be neccassary. AFAIK opensync is one such framework. It is not quite stable yet, but we also don't have stable remote api.

Even if we have such plugin how will it be distributed? It is a .so file used by evolution, so the user should have evolution installed. It is not a good idea to include it in binary package with gajim, nor with evolution. If it is separate package noone will like to maintain it. Although usefull I think such toys are dead before they're born. If one day Gajim doesn;t ship so many bugs and become more widely spread over Gnome users, it will not be a problem to have this plugin, but as far as I can see this is for milestone 0.56

eventhough I consider .9.1 major-bug-free, I have to agree.
