      To cut a long story short I've rewritten the vCard parser in Evolution but
      need to make sure it actually works correctly.  What I'd really appreciate
      is for everyone out there to send me some vCards so I can build a
      vCard parser regression test for Evolution.
    </p>
    <p>
      Obviously make a copy of any contacts you'll send and replace any
      sensitive information (change all phone numbers to 1234, all addresses to
      Foo Bar Street, etc).  As this has to test as many corner cases as
      possible vCards with entirely ASCII values produced by Evolution are
      pretty boring.  Instead I'd like:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Cards using non-ASCII locales.  Finnish, Russian, Hindi, Korean, etc are
        all welcomed.
      </li>
      <li>
        Cards produced by programs other than Evolution.  Even if you don't
        actually use an Apple, importing a few contacts from Evolutoin into the
        OS X address book and then exporting them again would be good.
      </li>
      <li>
        Bizarre fields actually being used.  I'd like to see real-world cards
        using the linked (instead of embedded) photos, complicated use of the
        TYPE fields with custom entries, etc.  Note that cards from Evolution
        don't count here, I can produce those easily.
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
      Thanks!  Email any vCards you have to <a href="mailto:ross@burtonini.com">me</a>,
      although you must agree that they'll hopefully end up being distributed
      with <tt>evolution-data-server</tt> under the LGPL.
