The Activity Journal (powered by Zeitgeist) has been finally rolled out from what was in trunk. We reduced some of the functionality Randy developed in our development branch since we wanted a smaller scope of things to fix for now.
You can read more about the release on Thorsten’s blog.
Major UI changes is adding a toolbar (Hylke will kill us) but its just experimental until we find a more intuitive way of changing views as well as searching and redesigning the Pinned items.
We will work on more speed enhancements and optimizations.
This is a development release. Start filing bugs guys! Download from here.
Also we have support for several new data providers in Zeitgeist. They are still not released but will be soon. They don’t reside in Zeitgeist process but within the applications as plugins, because who knows more about what an application is doing than the application itself?
So for now you can install them manually for your apps on downloading them from
bzr branch lp:zeitgeist-dataproviders for the following loggers:
- bzr
- chrome/chromium
- emacs
- eog
- firefox
- geany
- gedit
- rhythmbox
- tomboy
- vim
You can get the telepathy logger from
bzr branch lp:~mortenmjelva/zeitgeist-dataproviders/telepathy
The installation instructions are written inside…
Cheers

No Epiphany love from Zeitgeist? That’s not very Gnomish
How about suggesting a data provider for Pidgin and dpkg/apt/synaptic?
Pidgin conversations/received files/uploaded files and packages installed do have good use within a timeline, but again this is just a humble suggestion.
Also how about Zim (aka Zim Desktop Wiki)? While being a note-taking app like Tomboy, it’s wikified approach is very solid to write documentation/TODO-lists…a great app for developing/planning. If zeitgeist and GAJ integrated with it, its power would rise considerably (and perhaps help it rise from a somewhat obscure app to something more mainstream like Tomboy is).
If only one could translate it into Polish :/ (hint, restricted permissions :/ )
@DeeJay1: I opened up the translation… Sorry for that
If only we could have a PPA to install from. I managed to run zeitgeist-daemon.py but gnome-activity-journal refuses to run from source
Filling bug
@Seif: Yay, I’ll translate it as soon as I get back home in 10 hours. Unfortunately I can’t do that from work, although I’d really like to (hint for future employers
I second Alucardni’s request for a PPA to install the data providers!
Whoa. Why did not I think of this?
