Contact Lookup Applet 0.2
Sweet news in the form of Contact Lookup Applet 0.2, which I believe will work for more than 1% of people so I'm announcing it to the hordes. Download it from here.
In case you are a little slow today, this is an applet for your panel which will lookup contacts... specifically in an evolution-data-server addressbook you specify. Yes folks, you'll have to build Evolution from CVS to make this baby work. But it's worth it, trust me. ;-)
There is still a substantial To Do list, but it works well enough -- assuming you type enough to get a single match from the address book, as only the first result is displayed. If you try it and want to make feature requests, please check TODO first. I also recommend running the factory in a terminal the first time you use it, several (read as "all") error conditions are handled with g_warning() and they will disappear to the bit bucket otherwise.
Every time someone asks why I haven't yet put a quality setting in Sound Juicer, God kills a kitten. I've asked him to extend the same practise to feature requests for Contact Lookup Applet which are already in the To Do. Please, think of the kittens.
