  + Turba, the Horde Address Book

  Turba can be configured to provide multiple address books from  
multiple backends. This is done in {{turba/config/sources.php}}.

+Supported backends are:
  * SQL (i.e. localsql)
-* LDAP/Kolab (see ExistingLDAPHowTo, which includes address book  
configuration information, and NewLDAPHowTo for general LDAP setup)
+* LDAP (see ExistingLDAPHowTo, which includes address book  
configuration information, and NewLDAPHowTo for general LDAP setup)
+* Kolab
  * IMSP (docs soon to follow at  
http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/OtherCyrusSoftware )
+
+
+++ Nomenclature and architecture
+
+* Turba can manage any number of different **sources**, each source  
can use a different backend driver like LDAP or SQL and utilize a  
different address book scheme. Administrators can set permissions for  
each source.
+* SQL sources can be used as a backend for **shares**. These are  
address books that each users can create and share with other users  
and groups.
+* The user can also create (shareable) **virtual address books**,  
which are basically saved searches.
+* All those, i.e. non-shared sources, the shares that the user has  
permissions for, and the user's virtual address books appear as  
**address books** in the user's interface.
+* The user can further create **distribution list** next to regular  
contacts in any address book that he has write access to. Distribution  
lists can contain contacts from any available address book, but other  
users can of course only see those contacts in the list that they also  
have permissions for.
