Alright, before I get to the cool stuff, first things first, with current metadata system thriving, and at Beagle’s current speed, if someone really wants to start to stabilize up the Dashboard API a little more, and start to make this something less abstract, IM,Call, Mail (either one), or even just show up in Cleveland, and I’d be more than willing to help get Dashboard moving again.
Anyways, now that I’ve had another 2 minute excursion into the realm of getting Dashboard and its Banshee plugin building/working again, I have a quick 10 second screencast of dashboard being awesome.

The other cool technology that I really want to get integrated with Dashboard (or even Beagle) is the Open Natural Language Parser. In all honesty, there’s no way to describe how awesome it is until you see it in action.

That first video is not completely clear- I feel like I’m missing half the screen. Still, that dashboard even builds right now is pretty awesome.
I’m glad to hear that somebody else is excited about Dashboard. I had a look at it a few weeks ago, but gave up since it wouldn’t build easily for me, and since nobody else had touched it in a long time.
What did you do to make it build? Could you post a recipe? I’ve never really touched anything Mono, but if I can find small ways to contribute I’d love to do so.
