RE: [Debian-NP] Introduction & a few ideas
Many organizations need more than address information, they need contact
management, fundraising and other dedicated tools that might build off
of a central database organized through say something like open
groupware. It would also be good to think about creating shared
databases with appropriate privacy, security etc that are useful for
campaign level projects.

I think it would be best to decide if a database for something like
addresses is necessary. If we end up doing something like opengroupware
integration with evolution or something similar, then we will have
address/contacts all centralized in one place already and we wont need
to try and build a separate address database front-end.
I created a separate section on the wiki to address database
requirements and needs, and filled it out with what stuff I have seen
come by the list on this subject, I encourage people who are interested
in this aspect to have a wack at the page it is at:
