Facebook

I've recently become hooked on Facebook and I got thinking about
integration with Gimmie.

I don't have a huge amount of time but I can start digging at it if
no-one else is already working on this (although it may be a very long
time before any usable code appears due to other commitments), so is
anyone else doing this or does anyone want to save me the bother? ;)

New member of community.

Per Alex G., I'm introducing my self to the Gimmie development
community and offering my services where needed.

I stumbled upon Gimmie earlier this week and fell in love. I'd like to
see the Gimmie get to fully functional mode. However, I've never
worked on a Linux application before, but I'll get up to speed
quickly. I work as a support/systems analyst, not a developer so I
offer these skills:
* Documenting use cases and where possible creating sequence diagrams
(I don't know how technical I can get. Python is so dif from Java.
* Objectively analyzing ideas, features,
* Do Bugzilla work
* Create Documentation and edit the Wiki
* Marketing? I don't think many people know about Gimmie. And those
who do are impressed.

I'd like to see Gimmie be the premier applet/dock of choice in Gnome.
I feel that projects like Gimmie are what it takes to help Gnome reach
it's 10% desktop market by 2010 goal http://live.gnome.org/10x10.

Please subscribe to the new Gimmie Group!

Hi,

So Google finally got back to me on my conversion of gimmie-list to
using Google Groups instead of mailman.  Unfortunately, instead of
just resubscribing everyone as I originally requested, they converted
the subscription requests invites.

So if you want to keep up with Gimmie you have to click the link in
the invite mail from Google to accept the subscription.  Please do
this!

Google groups are really slick, and I'm sick of the crappy interface
and constant moderator SPAM I have with Mailman.

Unless something comes up, next week I'll make the google group live
by killing the mailman list, and setting up forwarding rules.

In case you didn't receive the invite mail, you can subscribe by
visiting http://groups.google.com/group/gimmie.

Recently Used

Is there a way or can there be a way to clear the Recently Used
categories?  Sometimes I would like to clear these out completely but
cannot find a way to do that.

How to configure?

I try to use the standalone application, and it's nice, but i don't know
how to configure!

Is there any howto for this?

E.g.:
If i don't need the computer part, how to switch off?
how to set up the gmail account?

Re: Gimmie Improvements

Thank you very much for this elaborately answers. I didn't thought you devs wouldn't use the dock anymore.
I get the issues that i described with gimmie 0.2.7 with Ubuntu 7.04 and also want to underline the advantages of using the standalone gimmie-dock.

Sure i have read the discussion about Pidgin/Gaim here. But is there a solution? (or perhaps i didn't understood because my english is so bad)

I want to rivet on another function in gimmie. There is a Gmail button, but i can only find "Account settings" there, which does nothing (in terminal i don't get any output)

And now there is a really last question: Is it possible to have the gimmie dock at top of the screen?

I think you should really implement the ideas you spoke out about the gimmie-dock

Regards,
Peter

Themeing Testers Wanted

Hi,

I've made a patch to add support for changing the background colour and
image of each topic. See bug 422022
( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422022 ).

I'd really appreciated if people can test it out.

Some screenshots showing it in action is here:
http://tsui.tony.googlepages.com/gimmiestuff

I've made a patched version of 0.2.7 which is available here:
http://tsui.tony.googlepages.com/gimmie-0.2.7-themeing.tar.gz

There is a known issue with the tray manager.

Any feedback welcomed.

Thanks,
Tony

Gimmie Improvements

Hello,

I'd like to say that i really like this application and it's development.
And i have a few suggestions:

* I don't like, that the panel is enlarged to both sides when an application is opened. i often click on the wrong places while it's enlarging.

* And, there is another thing: When i hover with the mouse over the panel, the "Applications", "Documents" appear with an delay. I don't see why this could be good.

That were my suggestions.
I can confirm, that with Pidgin the "People" isn't working correctly, i get the same error message as the others.

Regards,
Peter
