[turba] How to do share an address book

[pault]

hi turba folk

pleased to meet you. just joined list and my first post. greetings from
sheffield [uk].

mario asked:

>> I need to create an address book so I can share it with everyone that
>> uses Horde? 

and nate replied:

cool so it's possible, that answers my first question.

at burngreave.net we use the latest stable versions of horde and kronolith. does
this still make it possible, or is this functionality only available in the cvs
branch?

> Similiar to the normal "My addressbook" configuration with public set to

> that it works just like the normal Horde addressbook, so it's fairly easy

this is way beyond my mysql knowledge [approx = 0]. any chance of a howto or a
pointer to one?
