As I said earlier, it was an afternoon hack, but of course I very welcome any feedback (to the point of "ask and you shall have implemented") from designers. Just I'd like to avoid IRC if possible, because of timezone constraints and because I would like not to have a fixed timetable. Mail, wiki pages, or social networks are fine. Failing that, tell me a good time and I'll try to log in IRC. Giovanni ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

If one or more of the designers want to give their attention to weather in GNOME, I'd love to be a part of the discussion. I'm interested in providing an interface for users to view Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) [2] messages. The majority of the CAP messages produced today are weather-related phenomenon, such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc, but they are structured to also be used in an emergency situation such as earthquakes, volcano eruptions, civil disturbances, etc. I've been playing around with extracting the data from these at [3] in pygtk and gtkmm. If you want to check out some of what we can show users, check out the app in the python directory (the gtkmm version has much of the same functionality, but isn't hooked up to a message source atm). Google has a webapp at [4] but only shows the basic components of the messages; there are a number of interesting details that could be extracted (such as tornado funnel bearing and speed, or more specific information on flood crest times, etc) The challenge with CAP messages is getting them: it is an OASIS format, but is mostly only used in the US and maybe Canada. Right now, most feeds are on a State-by-state level in the US, although by summer there may be a national RSS feed available. That said, I think it is an important functionality to bring to GNOME users in the US, and there is strong potential that other countries may pick up the standard.

I don't see much actual design work on the page [1] for that app... did you speak to one of the other designers about this? If you didn't, I'd suggest that you do. We want the new apps to have consistent designs.

A weather app for GNOME
Hello desktop-devel, 3.4 is almost out, so it's time to start thinking about 3.5, and how to make it even more wonderful. As a quick afternoon hack, I built a Weather app, following the designs at https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Weather, and I think it would make a reasonably good Core App. You can find it at https://github.com/gcampax/gnome-weather. It depends on python 3 (tested 3.2), pygobject, gtk3 and clutter (>= 1.10), plus the newest version of libgweather. For best results, I recommend the branch at https://github.com/libgweather/yahoo-weather. It implements current conditions for the entire world, plus forecast for US and Milano Linate (XD). See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672804 for details. Hope you like it, you're free to use.
