Re: BBDB v3 activity

> My thoughts exactly---everything is in order.

Really?  When I open the BBDB User Manual, I find a one-chapter info document, with the
content:

1 First Chapter

This is the first chapter.

   Here is a numbered list.

  1. This is the first item.

  2. This is the second item.


Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with using BBDB, but I do remember what a pain it was to
switch from v2 to v3 many years ago, because there was, and apparently still is,
absolutely no documentation.

I don't think I would give BBDB a chance today and I suspect many potential users don't,
either, when there are well-documented alternatives.

So, I would not say everything is in order, even though I'll continue to use BBDB.

All the best,
Greg
