Folks is coming along nicely. I've avoided making too much, since it's
not quite ready for public consumption. But I'm hoping to make an
initial release soon (on the order of weeks).

By the way, the People Project was an unrelated project (which I didn't
work on).

Rodrigo Moya said he was interested in writing an Evolution Data Server
back-end for libfolks. You might want to help out on that if you'd like
to do contact management (since we'll need a writable back-end to be
able to save changes to contacts, etc.).

Hope that helps,
