Some minor changes will be made to the on-line staff directory format:

 - Phone numbers will be written out to 7 digits whether they're in common
   campus prefixes or not.  (Phone numbers with more than 7 digits may still
   occur, where the area code is not 206 or there's an extension.)

 - The alternate phone number will be included when there is one.  It will
   be listed second, separated by a comma and a space.

My red account has a "staffdir" program that shows this new format, so
I encourage interested parties to run ~donn/staffdir last-name on red.
The primary undesirable effect of these changes will be more frequent
line-wrapping, as the extra phone number makes the line longer.

It will be put into service by changing the staffdir.u service address,
which I expect to ask for Thursday Oct 26.  If anyone has ``hard-coded''
the IP address for staffdir.u, it will have to be changed.
