Description
Do you have any plans to make this module drupal 6 compatible any time soon? It looks like a really great module but I've jumped on the drupal 6 bandwagon and so can't use it at the moment.

Hi Joshua,
We're still developing mostly for D5.x as our standard Drupal site profile requires modules that aren't available for D6 yet... That said, we'll probably be looking to upgrade it in the next few months... of course, we would encourage you to have a crack at upgrading yourself :)
Cheers,
Dave @ Egressive

Hello. It's been a few months?
I just found this module and it looks ideal for what I need, but I too have already jumped on the Drupal 6 bandwagon and can't go back. Are you considering this for Drupal 6 yet?
Thanks,
cindyr

Is the 6.x version still progressing? Is anyone aware of a way to cobble together an alternative using other modules?

Hello flacorps,
Given that Views in 6.x is substantially more powerful than 5.x Views, i.e. it now works with users as well as nodes and other content, we've found that we no longer need RoleContact ourselves... We've found that the best approach to achieving what we did in RoleContact in Drupal 6.x is to use a View and then some theme functions to style things. We patch the contact module to allow anonymous users: see http://drupal.org/node/58224
Using Views is quite a bit more flexible, e.g. allowing for multiple similar views, but cognizant of things like user groups (so you can group users by office, if you have multiple offices, for instance). Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Dave
