after spending two days reading the two fedora mailing lists (fedora
users & fedora devel), i got a list of ideas that need to be
implemented in order to keep the things up:
1. the abililty to turn off the system
2. smart notifications (maybe multilanguage, geolocation-based, &
time-aware notes)
3. keep a history of the notifications
4. max. number of notifications at the time
5. click able notifications
6. stackable notifications
7. manageable feeds
any issue about any of those points??
imo - Whatever you do - please ensure that:
1) never grab mouse focus ever - let the user decide when to view the
info.
2) never create a popup unless the user clicks your applet to ask for
more information - leave your applet blinking in system tray or whatever.
3) Consider possible consolidation of rss/email/desktop - as some
have said - perhaps they would like to be reached on their phone with
critical info.
have fun ..
