Hi Like most of the people out there using evolution, the evolution Contacts is my primary database of contacts. I even print it from time to time to keep a printed phone list ( to keep the list shorter I have a Phone group )
However, there are other applications which implement contacts and I re-enter them again in a lot of places. For example, gnome-meeting and gaim. Would be great to have these cooperate. For start, what do you think about adding these fields to contacts: * a video conference URL ( e.g. callto://... ) * instant messenger ( choose protocol and enter account ID ). Next, when browsing contacts, have more options on right click: * Video conference * Instant message * E-mail I don't know if listing these with right click is the best option, as the list may grow. A plugin system with more ways of contacting would also be nice, e.g. 'Send SMS' ( which would call an application with cell phone as parameter ). Another idea : a gnome instant messenger could use evolution contacts instead of managing the contacts itself. On start read the evolution contacts database instead of it's own ( this way one doesn't have to enter contacts again in the instant messenger ). Gnome-meeting could do the same, but it might be better to drop Address book completely and add people from it directly to evolution.
