there was some discussion about dissolving
KPeople/KContacts and Akonadi. One user of those that came
up was KMyMoney. I took a quick look at what it's using
that for and it seems to only be when adding payees, by
trying to lookup names/email in the above libraries</span></div>

create a .vcard file and import that in order to get any

<p>There are indeed some.</p>
<p>KContacts and Akonadi are not going anywhere. The problematic
part is KPeople, which KMyMomey doesn't currently use.</p>
<p>The reason KMM came up in this discussion is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/issues/54">https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/issues/54</a>. There the idea
was since depending on Akonadi is not very portable to use KPeople
as a light-weight, read-only view into the "system contacts". On
Plasma that would then likely use Akonadi internally. I still
think it's the right thing to do conceptually, but given the poor
state of KPeople it's not something I'd recommend doing now.</p>
