I need to say that I do not know how org-mode interfaces with BBDB. I am CC'ing this email also to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. If org-mode is set up to work with BBDB v2.x, (most likely) this does not work with BBDB v3. Defining aliases for the old BBDB functions in terms of the new ones would work only in a few cases. Of course, this depends first of all on how org-mode is supposed to work with BBDB. Yet we are trying to make the new BBDB part of GNU Emacs. So it would be great if org-mode could be updated to provide (also) an interface for the new BBDB. While I'd like to declare soon that BBDB v3 has reached a beta stage, it was probably good if someone familiar with org-mode's interface to BBDB could take a look into this so that we could try to make sure that the new BBDB can work with org-mode as smoothly as possible. (Various add-ons for BBDB v2 had to go through some pain to work as intended by advicing BBDB functions and things like that. With BBDB v3 I tried to clean up and simplify these things; and various add-ons for BBDB v2 are already incorporated into v3 in one or the other way. It would probably be good if the needs of org-mode could be incorporated into the new BBDB before we declare that BBDB v3 has reached a beta stage.)
