Hi Guys,

good to see so many people interested in this project! My name is Pablo,
I'm a Java developer too with very little gripe on python and Vala. I
became interested in this project since I upgraded to Oneiric and Kupfer
stopped working (that I used to open chats).

So, I have started a little experiment on this, written in Vala and based
on the music lens and gnome-contacts. It doesn't do search yet, but
shouldn't be too difficult add. You can find the code here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~pablo-a-saavedra/+junk/unity-contacts-lens,
just clone it and ./autogen.sh && make && make install.

I really don't have any problem in rewriting it in Pythone if everyone
prefers to do so, what I see as a plus for Vala is a) there's some code
already in place, b) it compiles to C so it should be fast, c) is more
familiar to people with a Java background

So, what do you think guys? Should we base it on the one I coded or do you
want to do a python lens?
Regards.
