Re: Module Proposal: Zeitgeist
Dear GNOMErs, GNOME Activity Journal is being moved to the GNOME Development Infrastructure... However after some heavy discussion within the Zeitgeist team, we decided to keep Zeitgeist in Launchpad, and not move it to the GNOME Development Infrastructure. While Zeitgeist has been developed for GNOME it doesn't heavily depend on any GNOME modules. Thus Zeitgeist could also gain adoption outside the GNOME ecosystem if it remains slightly independent, which would only serve to strengthen its reliability and usefulness on the GNOME desktop too. Our current workflow and teamwork has adopted perfectly to Launchpad. We don't intend to move to Git now or in the foreseen future, since it will disturb our organizational and development habits. So in case Zeitgeist can not be a GNOME module because of its development infrastructure, we hereby withdraw our proposal of Zeitgeist being a GNOME module and propose it as an external dependency for GNOME Activity Journal, so it will always have a close relation to GNOME.

Module Proposal: GNOME Activity Journal
Purpose: GNOME Activity Journal is not a File Browser but an Activity Browser. It uses the Zeitgeist Framework to display what you did and introduces a better way of quickly finding the things that you were doing. Target: desktop Dependencies: Zeitgeist (external) PyGTK Python 2.5 Cairo DBus Pango Resource usage: Bug tracker: http://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-activity-journal VCS: http://code.launchpad.net/gnome-activity-journal Releases: http://launchpad.net/gnome-activity-journal/+download We are waiting on GNOME git approval for a new repository at which point all resources will be moved to the GNOME Infrastructure. Adoption: Packages (at least) for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, openSuSE GNOME-ness, community: GNOME Activity Journal is a pure community effort with the only commercial backing being our last GSoC project and the Zeitgeist Hackfest in Bolzano 2009. Right now, we are 2 core maintainers, 4 developers, and 2 designers. We've striven to be open and visible in our development. This has also led to a steady inflow of new contributors. Other notes: ... Status and future: The Journal is able to display all events of applications currently supported by Zeitgeist, such as: - Totem - gedit - eog - Banshee - Rhythmbox - Tomboy - Firefox - git - bzr - Telepathy - vim - ... Anything that pushes into Recently Used We will provide a data-providers setup and management tool with our next release. We are working to solve the performance issues on startup, caused by the amount of data that is being requested over DBus from Zeitgeist. Our next release should provide a proper solution. There is a more detailed plan attached to our 0.3.4 release announcement [1]. -- On behalf of the GNOME Activity Journal team, Thorsten [1] https://lists.launchpad.net/gnome-zeitgeist-users/msg00048.html ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Re: Module Proposal: Zeitgeist
i really feel sorry for that decision, i would have loved to see zeitgeist as a growing project inside the gnome infrastructure. furthermore i hope that the gnome community does not loose interest in this project, even if such a decision makes it harder to track whats going on. at last i hope, that you guys at least consider making zeitgeist a freedesktop.org project. daniel On Mo, 2010-05-03 at 00:37 +0200, Seif Lotfy wrote: Dear GNOMErs, GNOME Activity Journal is being moved to the GNOME Development Infrastructure...
