--- Comment #2 from Michael Stahl (CIB) <michael.stahl at cib.de> ---

this should be an easy-hack!

the existing Thunderbird Mork driver is here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/connectivity/source/drivers/mork/

we probably need a separate driver so users can work with both old and new
Thunderbird profiles.

so perhaps best to start with copying one of the existing drivers, the result
should find the address book files in a similar location like the mork driver
but the data access is probably closer to one of the SQL based drivers.

"writer:file->wizards->address data source" and "base: connect to existing
database" are two routes that can use the mozilla address book for testing
purposes. 

one advantage of SQLite should be that concurrent access from Thunderbird and
LO should work better.

unfortunately i'm unable to find any documentation on how this SQLite address
book is supposed to work in Thunderbird...
