3. Data Types Under Consideration Email Protocols Contacts / Address Books Calendaring and Scheduling Task lists Instant Messaging Financial Data Credential Management Subscriptions Library information Notebooks

4. Email POP3 and IMAP have displaced many proprietary systems Exchange, RIM and other proprietary systems continue to flourish P-IMAP - http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft- maes-lemonade-p-imap/http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft- maes-lemonade-p-imap/ Undergrads appear content with web access to email How will powerful PIM applications influence the future?

5. Contacts and Address Books vCard http://www.imc.org/pdi/http://www.imc.org/pdi/ SyncML http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/ syncml/syncmlindex.html http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/affiliates/ syncml/syncmlindex.html CardDav http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/ietf- carddav/ http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/ietf- carddav/ PIMs must also support enterprise discovery (using LDAP)

6. Contacts and Address Books Observations Most PDAs and cell phones come with support to import and export contact data from Outlook Early generations of SIP softphones and wireless VoIP phones are not shipping with this feature. It ’ s easy to pull enterprise contact data into private PIM storage. Is anyone supporting data flowing in the opposite direction?

16. Credential Management As soon as you have created a PGP key pair, you may want to create a blank revocation certificate, so that you will be able to revoke your key in the event that it is compromised, or that you lose the private key (disk crash) or forget the passphrase. Be sure to store the revocation certificate in a safe place, preferably separate from the private key. Printing it out and keeping it in a safe is a good idea.
