Sorry if it was discussed before, anyway... I have been using Android and Windows 8 recently quite a lot. These two guys have one pretty clever feature, i would certainly like to have in Ubuntu. Its their data-sharing protocoll. Basically applications have the ability to register one of their methods to share data held by them through a protocoll to an other application. This makes literally every application compatible with each other.
Applications would be able to: - Register a method for messaging -> no need to iplement switches in every application to turn notifications off, because the desktop can control it. - Register method for sharing the data it holds -> Files could be immediately retrieved from various sources. - Register itself for certain file types -> User immediately offered those apps when opens a file. Well... there could be tons of roles an application could be regitered to. There is an initiative in elementary os already: http://elementaryos.org/docs/human-interface-guidelines/desktop-integration/contractor What do you think we could use this for? Do we have something likely already? -- *Csonka Bálint* @913
