@Heartsmagic: Well, it isn’t finished yet, but the new version is going to be a bit simpler than previous versions (at least for the first release, once the basics are working good we’ll add more stuff again).

@RainCT, thank you. I tried the lates version and confirm that it is working :) But, isn’t it a bit plain :) Is this the new style of the GUI? I am asking since, i see just one window and the dates.

@Heartsmagic: Great. You can get the latest version of the GUI from here: git://gitorious.org/gnome-activity-journal/gnome-activity-journal.git

I’ve struggled with some dependencies like python-numpy and python-gnome2-desktop, but gnome-zeitgeist is working from bzr right now. Of course there is a huge way in front of gnome-zeitgesit but it is quite good right now.

Congras :) (also zeitgesit itself)

@Mikel: Thanks, updated the README. In case those python_* calls are anything like Debian’s pysupport, you may want to know that most .py files are installed into /usr/share/zeitgeist/.

Gentoo Ebuild at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277993

Someone should add to the README that zeitgeist depends on storm

@ghost: You can do a D-Bus API call manually to ask for a set of events, but I doubt this is what you want ;). Now, seriously, you can try gnome-zeitgeist from the branch (bzr get lp:gnome-zeitgeist; cd gnome-zeitgeist; ./zeitgeist-journal), but expect it to have bugs.

just installed zeitgeist-core;
Couldn’t determine how to read the loged events.
Gnome-zeitgeist seems not to be released yet.

Any other possibilities to use zeitgeist’s functions?

@Andre Klapper: Thanks. I’ll leave that tasks to the packagers of those distributions; I’m doing Debian and Ubuntu myself because I’m an Ubuntu Developer and a contributor to Debian (in the New Maintainer process) :).

@Tom: It’s intended for freedesktop.org. As for the infrastructure, we choose the one which best suits our needs, and that’s Launchpad. And yes, it’s Python.

If this is intended for GNOME, why is it not developed on GNOME infrastructure?

Also… is this still using python as gnome-zeitgeist was?

Congrats. What about providing packages for other distros too?

@egan: This is only the engine (daemon and loggers), the GUI (which is now called “GNOME Activity Journal” and is on https://launchpad.net/gnome-zeitgeist -instead of https://launchpad.net/zeitgeist which is the engine-) isn’t out yet.
