Contact List For Adding Participants

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be much nicer if a contact list could be used to add participants with 
a simple click rather than having to type the complete E-Mail-Address.

Spying on the network connections of a wave, I've seen that a call to 
http://<your server>/contacts?from=1&to=101& is made which returns something 
useful. Of course this should only work if you allow walkaround to access your 
contact list.

PS: I really wonder why nobody has requested this yet :)

Yes, the client already has all your contact data (it uses it to show avatars). 
 The work that needs to be done is just replacing the "add participant" dialog 
with something that makes use of it.

I've been investigating that a bit. Looks like the + button is handled by the 
Apache Wave part of walkaround. Maybe you can monkeypatch that like you did 
with the "Enable user names and pictures" link appearing inside the wave.

A better and simpler solution would be to add a hook to the Apache Wave client 
that allows us to pass in our own participant dialog, and make use of that hook 
in Walkaround.java or somewhere around there.

get-third-party-deps already applies a minor walkaround-specific patch to 
Apache Wave, we can add more (temporary) changes there so we are not dependent 
on submitting changes to Apache Wave first.
