There are "Hooks" (signals) [1] that can provide the ability to do such. > I understand that I described things in a highly generalized (or even > fuzzy) way, but this is because I'm still having weak understanding of "how > cardDAV" works. It is a bit fuzzy yes ;) We have had some talks about connecting users to vCards; whether it should be as automagically generating vcards based on user profiles, or pinning a vCard (contact) to be a me-card is still up for discussion. I'm not sure at all if that's what you're talking about though? > Please feel free to correct me at any point or suggest another ways of > integration. For discussing authentication/integration wrt *DAV protocols the SabreDAV mailing list [1] is also a good place. I also only have a vague understanding of how it works, but I learn a lot from there. I assume several other OC developers also subscribe to that list.
