Hello! You may remember me as the bloke that proposed the Déjà Dup backup tool as a GNOME module a little back, right as modules were being reorganized.
I've been encouraged to try again as a Feature. I don't fully understand the process, but I gather an email to this list starts it off. Here's a quick thousand foot view: * Homepage here: https://launchpad.net/deja-dup * It's a backup program aimed at non-technical users. * It's a graphical wrapper and policy manager for the backup program duplicity. * It's included by default in Fedora 13 on and will be default in Ubuntu 11.10. * It follows the GNOME schedule and best practices already. For the next major version (20.0), I've done a redesign aimed at making it more "invisible" and appear as part of the OS. I've made it live just as a control center panel and removed some branding to look a bit less like a separate app. See http://live.gnome.org/DejaDup/Screenshots/Future for screenshots. Déjà Dup 19.1, which includes those changes, is already in Fedora Rawhide and will be in Ubuntu Oneiric once we land the GNOME 3 control center. I suspect GNOME might be interested in having a "backup story" so I'm offering this one. And I'd be happy to have increased design advice and developer eyeballs. I have a few related questions: * What does being a GNOME Feature obligate me to? Basically the normal module stuff? * Déjà Dup lives in Launchpad. I'd love to explore ways of integrating the GNOME workflow and LP, but I would prefer that it remain in LP. I'm also happy to answer any questions about Déjà Dup, obviously. -mt _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
