Mimi,
Sounds good. I've been working on converting Contacts from a
ContentItem (Ernesto's SoC work) to making them a stamp. I've also
done a little bit of UI re-factoring, just to make the contact UI
look more like the rest of chandler's UI. Once I get that working
all those UI changes SHOULD be really easy.
To answer your question, it makes since to me to display contacts in
a generic table in the Contacts Application Area. Unless someone has
objection, that is the way I would like to do it. This way the user
has to stamp the contact as a task, mail or calendar item, in order
to triage it. If we do decide to be able to triage contacts, i think
it would make more since if we came up with new triage statuses
specially designed for contacts (i.e. "Waiting On").

Hi Ed,
How about this as a next step for Contacts in the Sidebar,
basically the same as your list, with a few additional details...
1. Add a Contacts Application Area to the App Bar. (I will provide
you with an icon graphic.)
2. Add a Contacts stamp to the Mark-up Bar.
3. Cordon off the Contacts Application Area so that Contacts don't
appear in the All Application Area. It would be nice if they could
still appear in Mail, Tasks and Calendar (if users stamp Contacts
as such), but if it's hard to do that, completely isolating
Contacts into its own silo is fine for now.
Q: What view will you be displaying the Contacts in? Just a generic
table or the Triage Table?
Does that sound reasonable?
