greatest problem concerning contacts in Ubuntu One / Gnome:
Gnome has no method to describe People in one single place.

Personal information about my contacts is scattered across the system.
*Empathy: IM contact, network and avatar
*Evolution: undynamic v-card data
*Gwibber: could pull information from facebook, identi.ca, google buzz, tumblr, or youtube profiles..

as an example, here how my phone does it:
1) pulls PIM data where it finds it (jabber, facebook, cloud PIM..)
2) links all available personal profile information on the people it finds in these contact lists
3) overlays, if field name and information are the same, appends if field name or information differ

this way i have more than 50% of my contacts in one pretty list, easily organized and merged.

who would do that in Gnome?
Evolution Contacts? Empathy's "Contact List" ?
wasn't there a project on launchpad called "People" ?
