GNOME Do 0.8 Review
linux-ninja.com: This weekend, I decided to check out GNOME Do’s latest 0.8 release with the new Docky task bar. As someone who has managed to avoid all the launcher hype bestowed on programs such as Launch Box, Quicksilver and Ubiquity, I have to admit that in the beginning, I was more than a little bit skeptical about GNOME Do. How useful can this program really be?
GNOME Do comes configured by default without any plugins enabled, which isn’t all that useful because the plugins are what make (and in some cases break) GNOME Do. The list of included plugins, both official and community, is impressive; however, some are more useful than others. I was most excited about the Google Contacts, Evolution, Pidgin, Microblogging (Twitter and identi.ca), Google Search, Google Maps, and Terminal plugins as these correspond to actions I carried out on a regular basis. Obviously, I can’t cover all the plugins available, so I will stick to the ones I liked best.
