So now that GNOME 3 is out, "Finding and Reminding"
is now being designed. I myself don't know how it will look like or so but as someone who believes in an evolutionary design process with multiple prototypes and not "design everything upfront" process I did my hacks and now we are re-factoring it to be cleaner along with Federico Mena and Siegfried Gevatter.
Also we will have Akshaj Gupta working with us as a SoC student. We will refocus our work to assist the GNOME Shell team once their designs are complete. Until then I would like to invite people to play with my branch on gitorious:
https://gitorious.org/gnome-shell-zeitgeist/gnome-shell-zeitgeist/commits/desktop
This branch adds 3 new features to GNOME-Shell:
Jumplists
Search
Library Tab
To test it you will need the latest Zeitgeist packages from from your distribution or get the source code from:
Engine: https://launchpad.net/zeitgeist
Datahub: https://launchpad.net/zeitgeist-datahub (the main logger)
FTS-Extension: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zeitgeist-extensions/zeitgeist-extensions/trunk/download/head:/fts.py-20100602085111-i21bh1p60phaak4f-2/fts.py (place it in .local/share/zeitgeist/extensions)
If you want to log some extra stuff you can download other loggers from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zeitgeist-dataproviders/zeitgeist-dataproviders/trunk/files
Some nice ideas worth experimenting would be to replace some Zeitgeist stuff with Tracker stuff and test...
This work is in no way what you should expect from the "Finding and Reminding" stuff that is being designed. With a lot of luck there might be some stuff pulled into the main design. But it would be nice to have feedback. Play with it tell me whats bothering you or what you like at #gnome-shell-experiments on GIMPNet. Lets encourage prototypes. While prototypes does not mean the code will be used, it is a good way to have a more agile development and interactive design process, that could help out the GNOME Shell designers with their decisions...
