Hi all,

1. Growl is a great piece of software that I have been using for years: 
congratulations!
It has plenty of useful features, but currently (since it’s sandboxed and 
more limited) Growl support of Apple Notification Center is very light 
(=> all notifications are forwarded under the same name)

2. Bark plugin for Growl is great to improve Apple Notification Center 
support in Growl on two points:
- notifications forwarded to Notification Center keep their respective 
application names (since Bark is not sandboxed and limited as explained on 
their website),
- it’s not a global switch and therefore you can keep particular Growl 
styles for particular applications if you want.

=> Then, from the two above points, couldn’t there be an "official" 
collaboration between Growl Team and Bark Team to support (and upgrade) 
this plugin with the same timeline than Growl and propose it as a Growl 
extra,
always up-to-date like Growlnotify, on page http://growl.info/downloads

- From a practical point of view, this would avoid situation like currently 
when Growl is compatible with the new OS (Mavericks), but not Bark plugin.
- From a strategical point of view, I have the personal feeling that 
supplying and maintain over versions the best Notification Center 
compatibility would make Growl life longer... 
(because users would get the best: full compatibility with Apple 
Notification Center, with all the features brought by Growl: History, 
Roll-up, particular displays for particular applications, etc.)

Moreover, maybe a subtle rework of the Notification Center user interface 
in Growl could make this bridge between sandboxed and unsandboxed worlds 
more straightforward for users:
- When the user switches ON the current Growl OSX Notification support 
(General tab)
- Then, in spite of locking and graying the current Growl display style 
(Display tab), this could lock to a new "Apple Notification Center" display 
style, which could propose a button to download "Bark plugin" from Growl 
extras for users who want to get individual notification forwarding.

Is it a relevant proposal? ;-)

-Yann.
