GAC Rejected at Jun 2010
+ GNOME Activity Journal (desktop)
- the original design idea is one we want to see happen during the
GNOME 3 development.
- needs more integration with the rest of the desktop and the overall
GNOME design; right now, it feels too much like a standalone
application.
- the team might need to work a bit more closely with other GNOME
teams for the integration.
=> rejected
