I am using my FreeRunner as my daily phone.

I noticed that Contacts application only accepts digits 0-9
for the phone number.   In various locales,
it's fairly common to split up the number into groups,
separated by various symbols, all of which currently cause
the SAVE button in "Contacts" to have no action.

So, my multi-faceted question is:
1. Should more digits be allowable?
(I have seen dash, dot, parens) ? OR
2. Should the Contacts program clean up the input
rather than just wait silently for it to be fixed?  OR
3. Should it remain as it is, perhaps with a warning of some kind?

AND

4. If a bug report is appropriate, where is the most
appropriate place?  Openmoko tree?  FSO tree?  SHR?

(and)

5 (least likely scenario)  If I did have time to look at
the source code, and want to create a sandbox on my Linux machine,
and learn the language that Contacts is written in....where's a good
place to start?      Ironically, if I did look at it, I imagine
it's a very small change like  [0-9]  to [-0-9.]  or    [-0-9.)(]

It's sort of like knowing what to do with the 10 cent bolt....
is worth $9,999.90   (computer joke from last millenium)

Thanks
Seth
