cdb stands for Contact Database.  It is an ambitious project that aims to be the final word in contact management.  And most importantly, it aims to kill the unseemly dependence many of us have on Outlook.
<P>
Currently it is a well formulated blueprint, but is so far short on code.  Check out the <a href="doc/">doc</a> directory to read some of the goals and plans.
<P>
As a side project, I have created a little program for migrating from Outlook to LDAP.  This simply ports your data.  You will still need to find a program that allows you to edit the ldap data.  And you may have to tweak the code a little bit for your particular needs.  It is an open framework so someone can come in and use it to convert from outlook to phpgw's addressbook or anything else.  If you are interested, you can find it in the 

<?php
echo "<a href=\"".$phpgw->link("/cdb/outlook2xyz/","")."\">outlook2xyz subdirectory</a>.";
