I would be very happy with a version that showed all the matches and had a pre-checked box for "Link?" next to all of them. I think it's relatively easy to get a huge portion of the matching done correctly. And we could hopefully highlight/warn about less-confident matches. Maybe use a scheme like: confidence < X%: don't show in list X% <= confidence < Y%: show in list, unchecked confidence >= Y%: show in list, checked with some simple way of communicating that idea. I'd probably start with X=75, Y=90 (since I think our proposed matches API is relatively good). This simple application could be called from any place that supports linking of some variety (though I suppose that means Gnome Contacts and not Empathy at this point). -Travis
