People are driving me crazy w/asking for contact groups... what do you guys think the timeframe for this is?
Please have a look at the current SVN trunk. A first version of this feature was just implemented. It'll be officially available with the next release (0.4).
I think that now almost everything is ready for in-code automatic address collection, isn't it? Couldn't we represent collected addresses as one more autocreated 'Sticky' group? And may be add 'searchable' and 'is_group' columns (or may be some kind of 'flags' column) to 'contactgroups' table to have it all consistent - search though 'searchable' groups and send mail only to groups with 'is_group' flag set (opposed to I'd name them 'collections'). Or even add one more table 'contactcollections'.
Sorry for mess, brainstorming while writing :)
OK, my main idea - to introduce:
- 'groups' - which are supposed to send mail to whole 'group',
expandable in compose fields
- 'collections' - which are searchable for contacts but user can not
send to a whole collection.
I think that at least background for this should be done until 0.4 is released to prevent incompatibilities between SQL schemas in future.
There should not be much distinction between them in UI, but they should be handled differently in code.
I think that could be cool (and probably often requested) feature. What on implementation - personally I do not like to create additional tables for collected addresses (as current plugin implementation does). Keeping it all in one place would be nice.
