Description
I was looking for address functionality similar to what this module offers and found this module as well: www.drupal.org/project/addresses. It would be great if we could combine our efforts and merge these two modules. The goal would be to have an addresses module that simply enables user addresses in Drupal as the addresses module does. It also provides an API for other modules to interact with it. A simpler uc_addresses sub-module could be written to use this module. I am all about working together and not re-inventing the wheel.
Cheers,
Antoine

It's unlikely that working on this module will appear on my near-future schedule. However, I have suggested to the Ubercart people that the functionality in uc_addresses be integrated into core Ubercart, but perhaps using the Addresses module as a base.
Not sure whether this will happen in the near future or not.
If you're willing and able to code, you might want to bring up your idea with the Ubercart folk. The idea would be to duplicate both the uc_addresses functionality and the existing Ubercart address functionality using a module such as Addresses. I haven't look at Addresses in any detail and don't know whether it really provides the functionality needed.

It really would be great if this could happen. The addresses module solves many of the problems I have with uc_addresses such as choosing which fields to require and display but I really like how uc_addresses integrates with ubercart. Unfortunately I don't have time or resources to contribute at this time but I just thought I would add my vocal support.

"...such as choosing which fields to require and display..."
uc_addresses uses the same settings as the rest of Ubercart, so I'm not sure why you would have a problem with these operations.
Go to Administer › Store administration › Configuration › Checkout settings › Address settings. From there, you can set which address items get displayed, what they are called and whether they are required.
I'm not sure what the advantage would be of merging Addresses with uc_addresses without first having Ubercart use Addresses. If you want to lobby for this, this forum is the wrong place for it. Go to the Ubercart site and add your voice there.

I strongly apologize for my post! I was not aware that these settings existed. Excuse my ignorance. Now that I know about that uc_addresses is GREAT! I will be sure to do what I can to see that it is added to core Ubercart.
Good work and Thanks again.
