I got wedged as Contacts stopped working with any of my Firefox
installations. I'll try to dig out my works-in-progress.

I definitely encourage you to take a look at https://mozillalabs.com/contacts/
-> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/243985/
(note the link in the mozillalabs.com page was to an outdated version,
last time I checked).

Their code repo is http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/people

Mailing list,
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla-labs-online-identity

They have a pile of importers (I think using a separate oauth addon),
http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/people/file/f5bee994fb14/modules/importers

My own was pretty much just copied from the hCard one, and I didn't
get very far, so I suggest starting here -
http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/people/file/f5bee994fb14/modules/importers/hcard.js
as it should be up to date with their latest APIs. I only looked at
public data read from simple Web fetch, no auth or platform API stuff.
But since the tool does pull in date from behind many such APIs,
providing a foaf/rdf view over the aggregated contacts data (in SQL)
would be good too.

Hope this helps,

Dan
