Essentially it is a quick graphical launcher to search for entities in gnome and "do" stuff with them. If you press "super-space" gnome-do appears, you type the name (incremental search style) of something you want to do something with - a file, a person, a favourite album - all depending on plugins, and then tab to a next pane were you decide what you will do with it (run, edit, email, play) as appropriate. It's similar to the gnome deskbar-applet I suppose except that is is more keyboard driven, and more extendible. For keyboard jockeys I think it will be much faster. The website listed above has more details, together with good screencasts which demonstrate it well. CT. PS. For others watching the bug, packaging is well advanced on Alioth now, with the plugins split up into smaller packages with a meta package that will include them all. We have a little more testing to do before we will offer the packages to mentors.debian.net for a sponsor. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIK3wL0SwfPjLnaZYRAvW3AKD654MgH1t5qUPIvhUaLVgD4trprQCgje+b 6STh0ogYu3dynYW4MlsGWiQ= =hfwI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
