Isn't this already provided with public directory services (I don't
have personal
experience with SIP yet, but I think GM's docs point to such a public service).

And while we are at it (feature requests) - a way to use GM without having to
tinker with the firewall, and without having to understand anything except for
"pick a contact and press 'call'", will be a killer addition. IMHO
these two points
alone made Skype so successful.

(Thinking about this again - Skype is the current "standard" in terms of "what
users expect from VoIP" and competing with its ease of use seems to me to be
a must for anything else in the market).
