@rtaycher:
While indeed just blanket getting rid of menus is a bad idea, a lot of applications have menus that don’t need them. Just look at the calculator; it has three menus, and they could easily be replaced by two buttons (One for preferences, and one for help). The View menu’s options would go into the preferences dialog; and the copy-and-paste items in the calculator menu aren’t needed (You can get at them by right-clicking in the calculator view).

A lot of other applications don’t need menus either; indeed, the only applications in the default Ubuntu\Gnome install that actually need a menu may be OpenOffice, Gedit, and the terminal.

“Lets make it happen… Thanks Dave for the inspiration…”
Thank you Seif and your team for your awesome work!

“I have to say that I’m more than a little skeptic.. Why, why, why would I open files from my calculator? I use that for math..”
I used a calculator in this mock-up to illustrate the potential of the design. I firmly think this use of Zeitgeist can be a hit and bring real innovation to the desktop, “even” on the calculator.

I hate people stupidly trying to get rid of the menu without any decent universal replacement for it in sight.

I fully agree with you… As I said we do provide a DBus Interface for interaction and soon enough libzeitgeist will be there too. But i would like to have some standard widgets that make use of these functionalities and tracker ones

I agree that like most Zeitgeist related stuff, this all looks fancy, but it will probably not make it in the main stream. It would be cool to devote resources to making sure Zeitgeist is integrated in the right places (in discussion with the right people). Instead of plugging Zeitgeist in ‘random’ applications/locations, would it be possible to think about a centralized way that users would be using Zeitgeist, and how it fits with the whole 3.0 stuff that is going to happen (maybe this is already happening, and don’t get me wrong, I like reading about cool fun stuff )
