clab README
===========

This is a quick hack, for now. I will want to rewrite it from scratch
if it turns out to be a useful tool, and provide a test suite and
documentation and such.

If you can decipher the code, feel free to use it. If not, do not
ask me about it.

Random junk:

    address book command line aplication

        bbook list
        bbook find PATTERN
        bbook add KEY[.SUBKEY]=VALUE...
        bbook edit ID KEY[.SUBKEY]=VALUE...
        bbook delete ID...
        bbook delete-key ID KEY[=VALUE]...
        bbook show ID...
        bbook mutt-query PATTERN
        bbook add-from-email

    store data in a git repo, in YAML files, one file per person

    data model:
    - each person is a YAML dict
    - the dict has key/value pairs
    - a value can be a straight string, or a sub-dict
    - keys in the sub-dict are called sub-keys
    - only one level of sub-dict (at least for now)
    - dict and sub-dict keys are arbitrary

    questions:
    - do I need a unique id for everyone? just filename?

    thoughts:
    - I can edit files by hand at first, priority should be for mutt-query subcmd
      so I can start using this for real asap
