That is one of my issues. I just got a new G1 and am having to merge
my contact data from BBDB, mutt aliases, lbdb's incoming mail DB, my
previous cell phone, and outlook to push up to Google Mail so I can
sync it with my G1.
Every other file is easy to work with except BBDB. I'm close to just
managing contacts in CSV and leaving it there.
I would consider using Google as a master copy of my contacts only if
I can automate the download of a CSV from Google. I'm not always
online and can't operate without a local copy. That doesn't look too
good at this point, because the Google API only documents
RSS/Atom/JSON, not the CSV that gmail uses.
Abook is still in the lead due to its consistent import/export
support, however because it isn't flexible I may just do a CSV file
and grep it for Mutt.

In reply to the previous poster, I had seen these, but one file per
contact or even multiple lines per contact is not a valid way to
manage them in bulk. I've thrown them all in a spreadsheet for now.
I've also noted that vCard doesn't support grouping via keywords in
the standard. That's a problem in Abook's static field assignment, but
I can use a colon separated custom field if I must.
Thanks.
