Hi Sri

Thanks for the tip, I did consider writing a service but wasn't sure
because:

a) Only my Gnome Shell extension would be consuming the service at
this point, so re-factoring the code to read from Google Reader into
a separate service seemed unwarranted.

b) This doesn't address the need for the extension/service/app to
live somewhere on the desktop.

I'll subscribe to Gnome Design and talk to them. Regards...


I'm thinking you could talk with David Z and see if it is something that
might work with gnome online accounts service.  Explore the space.

You can just have a background daemon running, and use (possibly
resident) notifications. They provide all you might need for this kind
of tasks IMHO.

Without a desktop presence how would users change settings or request 
refreshes, for example?

Hi Guys

I'm writing a Gnome Shell extension for Google Reader.


My recommendation is to ask in #gnome-design to see how you could
integrate with GNOME 3 desktop.  We have a lot of other things under the
hood especially as it pertains to social networks and stuff.  So instead
of approaching it as an application, approach it as a service/feature.
Try it out and see how it works for you?

Then I guess that the generic notification (as for mail etc.) should be

Hi Guys

I'm writing a Gnome Shell extension for Google Reader.

Just had a quick UI question: which part of the desktop interface would
such an extension best belong?

At first I implemented this as a tray icon system status button, but I'm
thinking it might be more appropriate as a panel button in the middle of
the main panel, next to the clock?

Are there any UI guidelines as to what belongs where in the Gnome Shell
desktop?

TIA...



I am not UI expert/gnome-shell developer but why should it be extension
rather then separate application + notifications?
