I'm intrigued enough by the Timeline view of ROSA that I'm downloading it now and preparing to boot it on the linuxhack machine I've got just for the purpose .. this is something I've wanted in a Desktop GUI for decades, and I'm quite interested in the implementation in ROSA - anyone used it yet, got an opinion based on experience?
For me, a Temporal interface to the work I've done on the computer is the One thing missing from modern computer use interfaces. I've always thought that the primary index key for all data created on the computer should be date/time, and better tools for querying/navigating on that index should be developed for users .. but it seems there is some work to be done on making this interface mechanic sensible to the average user. It'd sure be beneficial to me anyway - I'm often thinking "what is that file I made last week .. name forgotten, but I remember when it was, roughly .." while looking for things - if a Time-weighted interface were oriented towards usability, it would be quite useful, imho.

- fit2rule 13y agoThanks for the tip -I'll check it out, and now that I know its nepomuk behind the ROSA Timeline thingy, I can investigate things further without much fuss .. appreciate the tip!
