Okay I can just imagine the yells and screams of people yelling out their favorite apps for doing this function, but before you post your ideas in the comments or contact me any number of different ways let me explain what I need exactly.

I’ve been finding that lately that both my wife and myself have had to go into our Wedding Excel invite list to get family phone numbers and addresses. Besides being in Excel, it’s not the most accessible from anywhere by both of us. In addition, I want to be able to have categories so certain contacts go in certain areas. Now the first app to come to mind is Google Contacts. But there is a problem with that. I want both my wife and myself to be able to access the account and I’d really like it on my own server. So judging by the last statement, I want it online and Open Source is almost a must. Also FREE would be optimal.

Now that I’ve given everyone the gist of what I’m looking for? Any ideas?

Let me know in the comments! Thanks in advance.
