I checked out the CVS to try, and it rocks.  trying to break it now.

Some thought for the e-d-s UI:

Would it be feasible remove the evo import dialog from the file menu.  Instead, add a multi-select in the project properties dialog to choose one or more address books to auto complete on (similar to evo mail completion preferences).

Rather than importing individual contact from evo in a seperate dialog the resource dialog would autocomplete on name and email field.

[resources view]

-> add resource
     * cursor is active in the "Name Field" (which isn't the behavior currently)

-> start typing a name 
     * the name matches with a limiting dropdown similar to evo mail

        (email and shorname) and focus moves to the next cell in the tree (type maybe).
