* Question 1:
Where is the mailing list of BBDB now?
I found the mailing list in Source-Forge is abandoned.
And the ML in http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/bbdb/ is not open.
So where to ask question about BBDB?
* Question 2:
How to create BBDB field like ~phone~ which has different types label, and can
have many values separated with comma?
Or can I just register a new field in BBDB init file like custom new filed ?
* Question 3:
How to show contact avatar in BBDBv3?
I know it seems about x-fields or somethings else, But I still don't know how to
setup it after did some Google search, and a little BBDB source code dive in (I
only know a little about Emacs Lisp).
Please show me an detail steps to tell me how to setup this. Thanks very much.

There is a gmane group for bbdb: gmane.emacs.bbdb.user That seems to be
where most of the discussion goes on.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but you can just create
arbitrary new fields, and each one has its own label. This won't create
a *single* type with multiple labels, just multiple types, each with its
own label (not sure there's a difference). You can use commas or
semi-colons as separators, by default -- see `bbdb-default-separator'

I haven't ever done this before, but look at the docstrings for
`bbdb-image', `bbdb-image-path', and `bbdb-image-suffixes'.
It looks like you set `bbdb-image-path' to the directory where you're
going to keep images, and then put images in there.
Then set `bbdb-image' either to the symbol name of an xfield that holds
each contact's image file name, or else name/lf-name/fl-name if you want
to use the contact's name as a filename. Or a function that returns the
image name from the contact.
Anyway, take a look at those docstrings, give it a shot, and report
problems back to the bbdb group.
HTH,
Eric

A better place to ask is bbdb's mailing list.
