I would be very interested in having a look.
I migrated from bbdb to org-contacts, but it turned out to be too slow,
so now I mostly isearch for the contact I want.
Recently I've bee thinking of trying a strategy where bbdb could act as
a cache for org-contacts, but I havent tried it yet. It shouldnt be too
hard I think. org-contacts can generate a list of all contacts, that you
then iterate and generate the bbdb database from. It might be a useful
addition in any case.
>> Best,
