Hi - I just realized that I never introduced myself to the nautilus community, even though my summer of code project is focused heavily on nautilus. I'm implementing version-controlled directories in nautilus, with version-controlled meaning behind-the-scenes versioning. The user doesn't have to think about check-ins or diffs or branches - only that a history of their data exists. The idea is mainly intended for the user's ~/Documents folder, but it could be used anywhere. I have a full writeup about the project available here: http://triplehelix.org/~matt/rcs-mockups.html At the moment, I'm working on implementing a subversion gnome-vfs layer, so that viewing past revisions of each folder can be done in a uniform way (i.e. nautilus will continue to function as normal, albeit read-only). The interface isn't finalized, and I have a few ideas about some changes, but nothing polished yet.
Who am I? I'm a second year Electrical Engineering / Computer Science student at UC Berkeley. I've been playing around with open sources code since about 2000, and I've submitted some small patches to a few programs (f-spot and beagle, maybe others that I forget). This is my first big project not just for personal use, so any feedback would be amazing. The code lives in the nautilus-revisioning module in gnome cvs, although it doesn't quite function at the moment. Read-only subversion support might be up by sometime tomorrow, with some initial work on changes to nautilus (in patch form in my module) by next weekend.
