• People like were thinking of a document-centric desktop before my GUADEC talk. W00t. It's nice to see people tuned in to the same channel.

  (There is a lot of material in that blog post. Digest it slowly, bit by bit. I don't agree with the parts about needing to dump the fundamentals of our platform, but that's perhaps better seen from an implementator's perspective.)

• Nemo is a file manager for GNOME which displays your files based on time, not on folder hierarchies. It also handles categories for files, like tags in F-spot. I had not seen it before GUADEC, and it's a pretty cool concept — much more developed than the simplistic timeline-of-days that I showed in GUADEC. Maybe we can embed the Mono VM into Nautilus and reuse Nemo's super-sexy widgets for time-based displays.
