Now some questions:
- do you have automatic testsuite for them, running on different versions of
upstream projects?
Not right now, but I can create them. I can create them for atleast those
apps which are default in Ubuntu
Yeah, as we try to increase Quality as an ongoing effort and especially
for LTS, this will be a nice way to demonstrate zeitgeist leading that
as well :)
- how do oyu work with firefox in particular, where we update the released
version through release life? We generally avoid shipping plugins for this
reason.
Our old version of firefox datasource was using XUL/binary components. After
the horror, of it breaking every cycle, Mark Tully ported it to js-ctypes.
js-ctypes was introduced in Firefox 4.0. So, an upgrade won't break it.

Mark Tully also has also created an internet/web lens which can use
the events of
firefox and thunderbird.
Sounds good to me!
- can you elaborate on one of the major flaw of zeitgeist which seems a
bigger priority to me: when you plug an usb key, or have a windows/ubuntu
partition, as zeitgeist isn't a indexer, we can't see them in the file lens
in particularly. I know that Seif has a script for that, but it doesn't seem
to be suited for indexing and Mikkel has some concerns about it. Can we put
that on the table as one of the priority for Precise?
Yes, that script is present in activity-log-manager (the version is
not released).
I was working on it and found that the current version was pretty
slow. Probably
some tricks can be undertaken to make it index only upto a specific depth.
The other option can be that file-lens can use a hybrid of zeitgeist for usage,
relevancy and all usage based recommendation and hook to "locate" unix
tool for searching. Correct me, if I am wrong, but locate does keep indexing
files? Right?
Right, we run updatedb (with the relevant ionice value) every day from
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate.
Maybe zeitgeist can see if it has enough info from it?
My proposal does not start and end with datasources. We should
also include activity-log-manager in the default install. This
application is a privacy and history manager. You can blacklist
applications, set zeitgeist in incognito mode, erase history etc.
We discussed that this cycle already, and I think that it should really be
integrated in gnome-control-center rather than having another capplet. Do
you think it's possible?
Yes. It is possible. I never worked on gnome-control-center, but it is
possible.
The first release was created in hurry to check how much options we can
provide to the user.
The current codebase of activity-log-manager is in python. Does
gnome-control-center have it's components/plugs (or whatever they call it)
written in python?
I'm afraid it doesn't enable this yet, but maybe some xembeed can be a
first step? I think rodrigo will have some inputs in this.
Are you attending UDS? if so, are you wanting to lead a session there or
are you enable to attend remotely?
