Ability to compose a new message to a given contact (or in some cases like sms, arbitrary name/number - so the ability to pick an account to use for sending)

  1. How to get a list of contacts?
  2. Is the fetching of contacts possibly protocol dependent? i.e: for SMS we'd use rtcom, for IRC we'd need to query Telepathy(?)

the gtk rtcom code already does searching for contacts https://github.com/maemo-leste/rtcom-eventlogger-ui

Where in the code?

Regarding (1), this will be implement via a dialog that will return the contact, from abook. @freemangordon said he would help with this.

(2) no, it is not, it's all from osso-abook. It is possible we could get additional contacts from Telepathy, but I am not sure how that works, perhaps osso-abook even has code for that (it can use telepathy).

We can start with just a plain text field for the receiver, we will just need to know what tp-account to use for sending.
