Re: [Ayatana] Unity - Web and People



It is easy to access evolution and Thunderbird activities. Its on the top of our list ATM. It is not in zeitgeist domain to merge contacts etc. We can just tell you how you use the contacts. So all I can offer is to map the contacts from zeitgeist to U1 or libfolks :)
Again I think this is currently the best approach.

Hey,
For the U1 contacts I can work it out easily. We already have a telepathy logger. I will patch it up for ubuntu to actually map the contacts from telepathy with U1 and log them into Zeitgeist. This will allow me to easily populate the view with "Recently Contacted" as well as "Frequently Contacted" :)

i love this thread!
Do you have access to Evolution Contacts also?
Or perhaps Thunderbird?
Evolution used to have a plugin that could exchange contacts with Pidgin!
Gnome Do already merged Pidgin contacts with Evolution contacts, it's just that its interface was so reductionist that it was kinda undiscoverable..
It would be nice to aggregate information artefacts on individuals from everywhere relevant, i.e. also from Gwibber.
To avoid duplication of effort, i suggest coding the contact information retrieval modules independently from the social apps, i.e. from empathy / gwibber / emailapp..   those should rather be consumers of that information.

This is definitely something we'd like to do. I've already tipped off
kenvandine that I'd like to talk about how libfolks and Ubuntu One and
gwibber all fit together in terms of contacts stuff, and if anyone has
any thoughts on that I'd be very interested in hearing them.
