@kalle-kruse said in CardDav (contacts) support:

@mardy Thanks for the reply. I am using an Owncloud server in my home network and got syncevolution on my ubuntuphone working as described in this blog post: http://notyetthere.org/syncing-ubuntu-touch-with-owncloud-or-any-carddav-server/

I also got syncevolution working, previously with Owncloud, currently with Synology's built-in carddav and caldav server.

This is not user-friendly, because i had to manually type all syncevolution configuration codes via Terminal on my ub phone :s

Adding generic caldav accounts is fixed in Calendar app now, but adding generic carddav accounts would be great

I can help with translations. Testing is possible, but it's also my daily driver, so it mustn't break anything serious..

@UmaGellan
the main difference of UT compared to others is that it's open source. That's also its unique selling point. If you want something without a business model behind it, you choose open source.

A business can have nice values and beautiful products, but a business is meant to be a money maker. To pay salaries and create income. Open Source communities are gathered around values and not for profit.

Products engineered, maintained and created by communities of users, designers and makers are better products in many ways. Knowledge and experience of all stakeholders are inherently included. The open structure makes it flexible and rapidly adaptable to user-whishes and ever-changing cultures.

If something is the story of UT, its open source character must be the story.
