Do you think that is anytime soon? I'd really like to see this in the
next release and I want to help. My question is basically what needs
to get done to get this checked in.

What is wrong with the current code and what is expected?
The GoogleContact should be an ContactLeaf as mentioned in obj/contacts.py?
And the slot mechanism should be used?
Anything else?

@Ulrik
It would be really nice if you could help!


Best,
 Stefan
