The future of GNOME
The dude abides recently published some mock ups of Awn a “Desktop 2.0.” You should head over to his site and see the “screenshots” they look very impressive. This is how he describes Awn:
Awn and the desktop
I have been thinking about Awn for a very long time. Although it is young in terms of releases, its been rattling inside my head for ages, questions like What more can it do with task icons? How else can it fit into the desktop? What else does it need to complete the effect?The best way to describe affinity is to say that it will be a front-end to all the information on your desktop, imagine it as ‘Planet’ to different feeds on your desktop, such as beagle/tracker, recent documents, bookmarks, tags, contacts, etc. It can be called from either a key-stroke or from the gnome-panel. Some features :
- It has search-as-you-type.
- Actions (like typing “www.google.com” will present you with an option to open it).
- Written in C, its extremely fast, even on a old system.
