Mayanna is about putting all your information at your fingertips. But we won’t stop there. We want to give you a plattform for your daily computing. One that fits in your desktop design and in your way of work.
Here are is an overview of our planned features and ideas as of now.
We want to seperate the datastructure from the GUI and give you the ability to create your own or use and modify others’. We will let you decide what info you want to see, we will let you decide how you want to see it, we will let you decide when you want to see it. And we will try to guess what you are doing and provide you with options that might interest you in that context. We will let you combine pieces of information to topics to save and resume your work on them easily. We will do all that on your computer without sending your personal information around the web. And we will let you share your ideas and your data easily with groups or single persons. To get all that working, Mayanna will interact with a lot of the tools and services you use today and integrate data from a lot of different sources.
Additionally we will do our part in creating the ‘Super Data DaemonThing’ (http://live.gnome.org/SuperDataDaemonThing).
Mayanna will feature a plugin system, in fact everything apart from it’s core will be a plugin. That will make development even outside the main team possible and furthermore enable users to chose between a number of ways to accomplish a task or view a result – or even create there own way. It will enable Mayanna to be exactly as everyone of you need it. It will also – and that is a major point – enable Mayanna to interact with any number of new or old web services or applications or daemons.
By now you know what this is and where we’re planing to take it. You all are very welcome to join the ride, start contributing ideas or patches, subscribe to the mailing list, keep us in your bookmarks or even just in your minds.
