Best is to connect to zidestore via webdav:

Then here you will find all contacts the user has access to:
webdavs://<OGOSERVERNAME>/zidestore/dav/<USERNAME>/public/Contacts

And here you'll find all contacts the user marked as private:
webdavs://<OGOSERVERNAME>/zidestore/dav/<USERNAME>/Contacts
If there are any private contacts, otherwise entering that folder will give
you an error message.

I guess an other alternative would be using the scripting interface via zOGI.

The standard vCard fields should be included, but I think if you have
configured custom fields to contacts, they will not be included.

other options are excel and framemaker. Go to a contact page
in OGo, and see the Download: possibilities at the top. Check the
URL used for each of the alternatives.

PS: Did you know that Adam and myself are working on a new version
of OpenGroupware on sourceforge, also with new mailing lists?
