Is anyone planning the addition of cso nameserver support?
Does anyone want it besides me?

At our campus, we are planning on using Pine's native address book format 
and simply exporting CSO data to it.

However,

I WOULD LOVE CSO SUPPORT IN PINE!!!  That would make my life so much 
easier.  I realize that CSO isn't cut out to be a 'browse' like utility 
such as address books (i.e., you have to actually search for something to 
use CSO), but it would be great if Pine (PC-Pine included, hint, hint) 
had the ability to either call an external CSO program, or do a simply 
CSO formatted query itself.

For a good implementation of this, see the UNIX Gopher client from UMN.

Jack,

Gee, you started a bit of a groundswell ;)

One of the big items on our agenda is adding support for the IMSP protocol
and big part of it is support for server-based addressbooks.  The current
proposed API definitions call for a driver-based implementation, much like
the current support for multiple folder formats.  When we get the core of
that code written, it should be a pretty simple matter to write a CSO driver. 
I don't know if we will write one, but I expect someone will contribute a CSO
driver in short order if we don't... 

Thanks for the request (all of you)!
