+\section{Contact Management}
+
+Every business does business with other persons, corporate or natural.  They may
+sell goods and services to these persons or they may purchase goods and 
+services from these persons.  With a few exceptions those who are being sold
+goods and services are tracked as customers, and those from whom goods and
+services are being purchased from are vendors.  The actual formal distinction is
+that vendors are entities that the business pays while customers pay the 
+business.  Here are some key terms:
+
+\begin{description}
+\item[Credit Account] An agreement between your business and another person
+or business and your business about the payment for the delivery of goods and
+services on an ongoing basis.  These credit accounts define customer and vendor
+relationships.
+\item[Customer] Another person or business who pays your business money
+\item[Vendor] Another person or business you pay money to.
+\end{description}
+
+Prior versions of LedgerSMB required that customers and vendors be entirely
+separate.  In 1.3, however, a given entity can have multiple agreements with the
+business, some being as a customer, and some being as a vendor.
+
+All customers and vendors are currently tracked as companies, while employees 
+are tracked as natural persons but this will be
+changing in future versions so that natural persons can be tracked as customers
+and vendors too.
+
+Each contact must be attached to a country for tax reporting purposes.  Credit
+accounts can then be attached to a tax form for that country (for 1099 reporting
+in the US or EU VAT reporting).
+
+\subsection{Addresses}
+Each contact, whether an employee, customer, or vendor, can have one or more 
+addresses attached, but only one can be a billing address.
+
+\subsection{Contact Info}
+Each contact can have any number of contact info records attached.  These convey
+phone, email, instant messenger, etc. info for the individual.  New types of
+records can be generated easily by adding them to the contact\_class table.
+
+\subsection{Bank Accounts}
+Each contact can have any number of bank accounts attached, but only one can be
+the primary account for a given credit account.  There are only two fields here.
+The first (BIC, or Banking Institution Code) represents the bank's identifier,
+such as an ABA routing number, or a SWIFT code, while the second (IBAN)
+represents the individual's account number.
+
+\subsection{Notes}
+In 1.3, any number of read-only notes can be attached either to an entity (in
+which case they show up for all credit accounts for that entity), or a credit
