* Make a harmonization pass between the current Contacts API and the W3C Contacts draft.  Suggest changes where appropriate, and improve our API where we can.  The W3C spec has a good notion of exposing Services to the caller.
* Implement Groups.  We probably need an indexed field on a per-person basis; it should support multivalues.
* Look into database auto-vacuuming; the people.sqlite file can bloat fast.
* Fix logging from resource.js

* Rework the internal JSON schema.  The current approach ( see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Sprints/People ) doesn't allow us to maintain attribute on a per-service basis.  We would like to be able to a) indicate which service provided each piece of data, and b) throw out the data from a single service and refresh it.  (See [[Labs/Weave/Contacts/SchemaV2]])
* Implement the Discoverer API as a peer to the Importer API.  It should take a single person and find out more information it.
