  • org-vcard

    Export and import vCards from within GNU Emacs' Org mode.

  • From direct personal experience, i can say that trying to implement the three different specs is .... not straightforward. The vCard 2.1 spec isn't actually an IETF spec, but is only available as a plain text file (and/or .doc? can't remember), and there are things like, and from 3.0 'types' becoming 4.0 'properties'. i don't have the personal resources to deal with it anymore. i need to put out a "seeking new maintainer" call.

  • But since you do have concrete PHP experience, you might find it easier to try to work on some of the open issues in one of the Nextcloud repositories. So for example, if you go to the 'Issues' section for the Text app, there are various tags on the issues, and you might be able to start out by helping out with those tagged "Need triage". (i used to triage bug reports for Emacs itself, which is what led me to write this guide to reporting bugs in GNU Emacs.)
