Fair point!
Essentially it is a quick graphical launcher to search for entities in
gnome and "do" stuff with them. If you press "super-space" gnome-do
appears, you type the name (incremental search style) of something you
want to do something with - a file, a person, a favourite album - all
depending on plugins, and then tab to a next pane were you decide what
you will do with it (run, edit, email, play) as appropriate.
It's similar to the gnome deskbar-applet I suppose except that is is
more keyboard driven, and more extendible. For keyboard jockeys I think
it will be much faster.
The website listed above has more details, together with good
screencasts which demonstrate it well.
CT.
PS. For others watching the bug, packaging is well advanced on Alioth
now, with the plugins split up into smaller packages with a meta package
that will include them all.
We have a little more testing to do before we will offer the packages to
mentors.debian.net for a sponsor.
