Maybe I can elaborate on that, Georg is busy enough with the Calendar ;)

For ownCloud 6 I have rewritten the backend (long overdue) to add support for 
multiple backends from different sources. Nicolas is working on an LDAP 
backend, and have already successfully populated the Contacts app with LDAP 
contacts. Kudos for that :)

Besides that there is OCP\Contacts which defines an interface for easy access 
to address books for other apps. Thomas Müller has experimented with it in the 
Mail app - I'm not quite sure what the status is on that, and we may have to 
adjust the interface.
