Wishlist and other rants
Posted on March 28, 2008
Filed Under Rants, Ubuntu |
So this evening I was updating my task list, and decided to start working on a “wishlist” of applications or hacks I would like to see in Ubuntu/linux/Gnome….
The reason I did this is I really would like to learn python and if I can give myself some applications to look at and try to decipher in my head I think that maybe I can actually figure it out. I really get the feeling that I will actually just be giving myself a headache 
Personal Wishlist:
A hiveminder/Remember the Milk plugin for evolution. Yes I know hiveminder has rss feeds and can send you emails. Don’t want that….I want my tasks from evolution to be synced to hiveminder. Or RTM for all that I care.
A Gnome-do plugin for RTM/Hiveminder. I don’t use gnome-do a lot but some form of integration for RTM to and/or from evolution would be awesome…would go hand in hand with my first wish.
A gnome-do plugin howto. Maybe a screencast showing what happens…even if it is the nefarious “Hello World” Maybe not a how-to as much as a lets make all the plugins work the same way. No matter the platform, plugin goes here….and on and on.

I am also thinking about learning Python, although ultimately probably for different reasons — or, at least, with web applications in mind, as opposed to the desktop space. I live inside my browser, so consequently that is the paradigm within which I tend to think, as well.
In case it interests you, I intend to start banging out some of the exercises here to get familiar with Python: http://codekata.pragprog.com/2007/01/code_kata_backg.html#more
Yes! I would be thrilled to see Evolution and gnome-do plugins for Hiveminder. (Not that that should surprise you).
If you (or anyone else) is up for hacking on a Hiveminder integration, join us at http://groups.google.com/group/hiveminder-api and we can help smooth any rough edges you run into.
