Hi all,

i'm pleased to announce the initial release of org-vcard, a package for
Org-based export and import of vCards:

* Backwards-compatible with org-contacts.el.

  org-vcard comes with a built-in contacts style called 'flat', which
  adheres to org-contacts' method of structuring contacts and contact
  information. It not only supports the properties specified in
  org-contacts.el, but many other properties as well.

* Basic support for vCard 4.0, 3.0 and 2.1.

  org-vcard is working towards full compliance with the vCard 4.0 (RFC
  6350), 3.0 (RFC 2426 and RFC 4770) and 2.1 specifications.

* New contacts style: 'tree'.

  org-vcard introduces a new style for Org contacts, called 'tree'.

* Highly customisable, via Emacs' customize interface.

  Modify existing contact styles; change the labels used to map contact
  details in org-mode to various vCard properties/types, or add new
  ones. Create completely new contact styles by plugging in your own
  code to handle export and import.

Further details are available on the GitHub page:

https://github.com/flexibeast/org-vcard

The package can be installed from MELPA, or downloaded and installed
manually.

Hope people find it useful!


Alexis.
