Remember Gimmie ? If no please have a look here. It was the first project I devoted alot of my time to, and learned python trying to patch it.
Watching Sezen working with the computer, I decided to take a stab at using parts of Gimmie using Zeitgeist + Tracker + (Soon Empathy). Well ladies and gentlemen after ca. 800 lines of dirty hacked code, meet Sezen…
Sezen from Seif Lotfy on Vimeo.
While I doubt how long it makes sense to develop and maintain it, I think I will keep it around for the non-GNOME-Shell users. I would like to see this functionality in Shell though and maybe after mid April I will look into patching Shell with Siegfried to add similar functionality….

Awesome!
Well done, Seif! So Gimmie somehow continues to live within Sezen. I’m curious if there will be a place for it within GNOME itself in the future.
Interesting. This kinda reminds me of gnome journal
I think that the simplest use of Zeitgeist within Gnome Shell would be transforming the “Recent documents” list into something like this. I’d really love to have that (the simple recent list is primitive and almost useless).
Just a suggestion: “Popularity” sounds right on the Internet, where one item is popular among a lot of users; in my personal computer, where I’m the only user, it doesn’t sound right to me. I would understand better “Importance” or “Relevance”.
Icons for sort by would be a lot better than having to use the dropdownlist for when there are just 2 choices
Brilliant! I used Gimmie a lot when it was in active development, and I never considered that it could be levelled up with Zeitgeist. I hope this idea continues to see development.
