Hmm....I'd like to see that too, but it will take some work.

I don't want to duplicate the functions of a real contact list app (and Brontide's got the right idea about doing the integration via the dbus...and it should be extended to looking up numbers to dial, like the phonelink app does with contactinfos), but it would be nice to record the dialed number, a timestamp, and whether the call was successful (at least as far as the wget command).

Sure, that's easy.

Probably not too hard.

That's the easiest request of them all!

Thanks.

So, can these ideas be implemented?

The suggestions are good. I'll probably do some work on them this weekend.

Of course, it's an open-source Python script, so anyone is freely available to hack it up.
