Summary
Add form autocomplete support for using email addresses from a device's address book. When in an email field, typing a person's name should display any matching email addresses from the device address book.
Current Status
Code exists to read the system address book on Maemo and desktop Linux. The Mozilla Labs "people" project does something very similar with form autocomplete and we'll use their autocomplete code for inspiration.
Next Steps
- Make a patch for Maemo/Linux (evolution ebook)
- Research how to access Android address book
- Should we care about Mac and Windows? Code exists for Mac, so it should be easy.
Related Bugs
Team
- Design: madhava

Designs
Not sure what we need beyond the normal form autocomplete design
- Make the person data be accessible to add-ons, which could add data from other sources?
Goals/Use Cases
- Map names to email addresses in email fields.
Non Goals
- Full identity management system (high overhead)
- Web-based address books (high overhead)
