Description
Imagine the scenario, you have a list of ogs generated by views (we use ogs for our teams, of which we have hundreds). You want to quickly contact say, 4 or 5 ogs using this module. At present you have to go into each og and click on the link. What I would like to see is an option to add a field in views that links directly to the og contact form for the view. This is very similar to the "Node: edit" field you can add in views, so something like "og: contact" would be appropriate. Clicking on the link lets you contact the og admins, and then it returns you straight back to the view.
I can see a lot of uses for this, both in a public setting but also in more restricted views.

I think this is a good idea. Need to get the D6 version out, and the D5 version updated first. I am happy to accept patches if you have them.

I have started writing code for this in the 6.x version. I have made Views integration a goal for an official release in 6.x, which will come out once Views integration is completed and test have been written and passed.
