Hi Julien,
I'm just starting with org-contacts, and my first step was translating
my %%(diary-anniversary... entries into contacts. Maybe you can help
me with these issues.
It seems that an "EMAIL" property indicates the current heading is a
contact. How can I store contacts that I don't have an e-mail for?
Again, this relates to my current task, so maybe a "BIRTHDAY" property
can also be made to indicate a contact?
Is it possible to specify birthdays without year? I often want to jot
down someone's birthday so I'm not surprised next year, but don't want
to ask them how old they are. :)
Thanks.

You change that rule. It's a defcustom, simply set it to be "there's an
EMAIL or a BIRTHDAY".

Same problem here, I just set the year to 1900 whenever I do not know.
Whenever my agenda tells me someone is celebrating their three digit
birthday, I am reminded that I need to find clever way to have a look at
their id someday ;).

You mean `org-contacts-matcher'? How does org-make-tags-matcher work?
After googling and looking during some cursory investigation, it's
still not clear to me how to match EMAIL or BIRTHDAY.

Fair enough. I'll use 1900 as a place holder for now.
On a separate note, the capture example on the org-contacts website
(http://julien.danjou.info/org-contacts.html) breaks without gnus,
Others were bitten by this
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-04/msg00079.html.
Maybe this can be fixed?

I would call it unfair :-). I already see souls shuffling in their
cradles.

Found the tags and properties matcher section in manual:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Matching-tags-and-properties.html
What I needed was: (setq org-contacts-matcher
"EMAIL<>\"\"|BIRTHDAY<>\"\"|PHONE<>\"\"")
