Re: Gnome-Shell and Zeitgeist...

Hey Sri,

Again i wrote down a couple of use cases that we could do.

We can provide more dynamic menus. most used documents or actions or even apps.

Recently used is also useful but no other system provides "Most used" within any timeframe. And for me it makes MUCH more sense then just recently used. Docky for example uses zeitgeist to populate its menus with "recently used documents within the last 2 weeks sorted by popularity of usage". I think this could make sense for Shell.

Cheers

In all honesty, I prefer AWN 0.4 to Docky. Faster, lightweight, doesn't use Mono (main reason why it's so fast and lightweight ;) ) and it already has a large community of users/developers. Check it out here. I'm using it on Ubuntu 9.10 and even though I'm using trunk builds it's very stable.

Using 'language' as a reason not to accept something is sort of silly.  Consider that gnome-shell is written in _javascript_. :-)

We should only be interested in the engine.  What you use for your bottom panel is probably a user choice.

I haven't had a chance to play with Zeitgist.  I'd like spend some time looking at it to see how it fits in with everything.  I haven't seen a compelling use case yet other than recent documents.  It seems that it's more useful in nautilus than gnome-shell or a possible gnome-shell extension?
