We were initially not able to make the work public for complicated (and boring) reasons that aren't worth explaining. The issues have have mostly been sorted out, and I don't think it will be too much longer before the code ends up in GNOME CVS along with the rest of Beagle. -J ___ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers

Thats good toughts.. I whould be interested in hacking some on holmes I just did this crappy Tomboy action, and I feel that I can do more. It looked like it was just a hack fest nothing more :) Meulemeester Jan Dante wrote: well to quote someone before me on this list: "hopefully it won't die in CVS" maybe there's need for a team that works on use cases, usability, .. for dashboard, no coding yet.

Re: Dashboard
Can't you say it is a monitoring matching system against beagle for things you are doing currently.
