Gimmie

Gimmie is looking good (presentation, images and videos). IMO, it’s about time they did something like this. Gnome is without a doubt my favorite DE but it’s not perfect. Gimmie is going to make it pretty damn close to perfect

Gimmie is an elegant way to think about how you use your desktop computer.

What Gimmie Can Do

o Applications from the system menu
o Recently used documents, applications, printers, network shares, etc
o People you’ve recently chatted with
