Hi, Ernesto
Overall, this looks good. A couple of comments/suggestions:
1) I think it would be good to carve out some time, or at least say
what the plan is, for fields like phone #s, which can have multiple
values (home, work, mobile, fax, etc). Do we want to allow custom
values here, or do we want fixed lists? In either case, there is work
that needs to be done at the domain model layer, and in the detail view.
2) Thinking about getting toward usability, would it be better to
concentrate on vcard import before stamping? I'm not sure that a
Contact stamp is necessarily going to be as much of a convenience as,
say, the email, task, or event stamps. For instance, if I stamp
something as a task, it's on my task list right away, without my
having to do anything more. However, if I stamp as a contact, I
basically still have to fill in a bunch of fields before I have
anything usable. (Maybe making that path easier might require doing
clever things with the item being stamped, though).

Hi,
My name is Ernesto Rivera, I am a Google SoC student working on the
Contacts/Address Book side of Chandler. My mentor is Grant Baillie
who set-up a wiki page to track the project's status:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/AddressBookProject
I know this subject interests many of you, so please go to the page
and give your suggestions editing and commenting/linking as needed.
Briefly I intend to:
- Use the existing and PyCon's 2006 contacts implementation.
- Work the integration of contacts within chandler (custom views,
stamping, etc.).
- Conceive simple and nested group of contacts (which should work
on prev. scenarios just like single contacts).
- Only then review contact item's attributes, comply with vCards
and deal with importing/exporting contacts.
Cheers,
Ernesto
