In fact I would be very happy if by merily using Haiku, I would have
the cool feature of automatic synchronization of the contacts in my
GMX account (the web interface) with my GoogleMail account. So yes, in
Haiku I would like to have a single group of contacts. It may be a
good idea to make it optional to integrate with each known online
contact management accounts, but in general I would find it nice if
that would be what happens. It's not obfuscation, IMHO, I can imagine
ways of staying in control of this feature. For example, the FS could
provide the merged view of all online contact storage locations. Per
location, it could be possible to check "automatically publish all
shared contacts in this account" and another option to "automatically
publish all contacts from this account in other accounts". The FS
could even flag each contact with the account it came from, so one can
do simple filtering in Tracker.
We already have a merged view of all contacts! It called queries and is
already integrated into tracker :-)
