[Ekiga-list] Feature request

[Bret Busby <bret busby net>]

Hello.

I do not know whether this is the correct place to make this feature 
request, but I will ask, anyway.

In Ekiga, when I search the Ekiga.net directory for a name, for example, 
busby, it returns a list of (11) people with the string "busby" in our 
names (I say "Our", as I am included).

But, in the window in which the names are listed, it does not include 
locations.

Similarly, if I search using the string "New Zealand", it returns only a 
name that includes the string "New Zealand" within the name.

In Skype, in the personal profile, it can include Mobile Phone Number, 
Country, City, and Language.

Is it possible to include, in the Personal Data screen in Ekiga, boxes 
to enter, in addition to Full name, also, Locality (allowing for town, 
and districts, in addition to cities/suburbs, and, an abbreviation for 
state/province), Country, and Language, and, possibly, timezone (in 
terms of <UTC+/-hhmm>), and, for this information to be displayed in the 
Contacts, and Address Book Search results, windows, in a format like
Full name...Language...Locality...Country...Timezone
?

Once again, I do not know whether this is already included in the latest 
version of Ekiga, but, if not, it could be useful, and, could avoid 
people calling other people at incovenient times (provided people enter, 
and, use, the Timezone values).

If it is already included in the latest vesion of Ekiga, then I 
apologise for making the request without that knowledge.

As stated previously, my version number of Ekiga is 3.2.7.

Thank you in anticipation.
