The GNOME 2.16 release cycle

Below is an overview of plans scheduled for Deskbar 2.16, and possibly later versions.

Feel free to ask on IRC or the mailing list for details, and start contributing !

Targeted for 2.16

Plan

Status

Core

Add the gtk-menu-like keyboard shortcut support in deskbar. Allow to 'bookmark' results with a keyboard combination, easily callabe in the entry after that. Also update the UI to display those shortcuts

Nobody

Possible optimisations, including search caching, startup speed increase, memory usage, etc.

Nobody

Document dynamic category creation (and also the HANDLERS dict for extensions)

Nobody

Nobody

UI

Extensions

Select new extensions to be included in deskbar among the proposed one on the Mailing list

Nobody

Make some sort of open/moderated web repository for plugins, and integrate it with deskbar to allow download install, etc transparently. Screenshots/Mockups have to be created and discussed on the mailing list

Nobody

Refactor the browser plugins shortcut handling code to fit in the new system of shortcuts (see above)

Nobody

Correctly use and detect proxies for the web handlers (google, yahoo, and others ?). Possibly make that code generic so handlers can use when needed

Nobody

Repair the evoution bindings to make them async and working without crash. Browse bugzilla for relevant bugs

NigelTao

Think about third party handlers that also require data files (such as images, .glade files, whatever else). What useful API can the core offer, how should such handlers be distributed & installed, file naming conventions, etc.

Nobody

Bugs

Currently open bugs
