Re: [Practical Proposal] Contacts Design

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").
