Not much, I have a few thoughts though. I wanted to focus on the following: 1) Beagle-Xeasm work, we will have almost everyone involved in this spec available too us, so lets work on getting our compatibility 100% 2) Gnome-Do plugin. I want a solid beagle plugin for Gnome-Do, should be a super-quick codeup 3) Dashboard. I have a million and one ideas working for this, but the core of it would hopefully be getting some unified means of generating clue packets/context. I am thinking that utilizing screenreader api's to get working windows/text could be very helpful here. 4) Beagle Client Optimization. We still do the whole XML serializing and deserializing thing... Look into Dbus/Protocol Buffers to increase performance
Prioritization of these tasks obviously depend upon what everyone here thinks/input at the hackfest. > > Kevin, would it be okay with you if i join you there?

Absolutely, it would be great to have more Beagle voices present in the discussions, as well as those willing to help code. As I mentioned above, those are the closest things to my tasks, but I am very open to more ideas! > > Cheers, > Max > > _______________________________________________ > Dashboard-hackers mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers > _______________________________________________ Dashboard-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
