1. Dino: Message Search
1.1. About the project
GNOME is lacking a chat client which looks “modern” and is thus visually and user experience-wise attractive to new users. Dino fits well into the GNOME desktop and improving Dinos functionality would provide the community with a good chat client. This project adds an efficient and visually appealing message search with a good user experience in Dino.
