At long last, here is Soylent 0.1.0! Description =========== Soylent intends to be a "people browser" that wraps every useful bit of information about people into single, cohesive objects. So your friends may have a dozen IM screen names, email addresses, website usernames, icons, hundreds or thousands of photos, and so on. Soylent is meant to bring all those types of communication and content together so you can perform and reach them within a few clicks.
We're using the best-of-breed libraries to achieve our goals in the cleanest, most universal ways possible. That means libempathy/libmissioncontrol to perform Telepathy-based communication (instant messaging, voice and video communication), Evolution Data Server for email and contact store. Eventually, we're planning to tie into the Gnome Online Desktop and Mugshot to pull the power and features of social networks to the desktop. *** WARNING *** =============== This is a developer-quality release. Though I don't think it has any data-mangling/deleting bugs, you should assume it does. Back up ~/.evolution before you install Soylent 0.1.0. While you're at it, back up the rest of your personal data. You've been putting it off long enough, haven't you? :) There's also a laundry list of Known Bugs (see the README). I just need some time to plow through them, but I figured it'd be best to get out an initial release sooner rather than later. Here you go, Naba! :) Contributing/Contact ==================== For any bug reports, questions, comments, feature proposals, etc., head to the Soylent development mailing list: http://lists.codethink.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soylent-devel Thank Yous ========== Of course, there are some people I'd like to thank for helping me work toward this first release. * Rob Taylor - for kick-starting development and project and mailing list hosting and for making me do something useful with my spare time! :) * Xavier Claessens - libempathy ROCKS! Thanks for making life easier for me! :) * Telepathy and Mission Control projects - Ditto! * Ross Burton - for providing wisdom about e-d-s * The Gnome community - for massive inspiration. Soylent would be a lot less interesting without so many great people to develop with and for, and to use Soylent with!
