The GAJ & Zeitgeist teams are proud to announce the 0.5.0 development release of the GNOME Activity Journal, codenamed “Defying Gravity”.
Special kudos for major contributions to Hylke, Randy, Seif, and Siegfried!
What is GNOME Activity Journal?
GNOME Activity Journal is an Activity Browser, which lets you quickly find what you did – with files, emails, and on the web. As opposed to File Browsers, it mainly focuses on when you did something rather than where the items you worked with are located. GAJ is powered by the awesome Zeitgeist Framework.
