The Pick Contacts Intent defines how Web Intents may be used enable access to a user's address book. Work on this specification has been discontinued since the Web Intents specification has been published as a W3C Working Group Note indicating no further development on the Recommendation track at this time. Implementation support has also been removed from existing systems (e.g. WebKit) precluding interoperability testing. Issues related to Web Intents were outlined in a mail message on the DAP mailing list .
