Everytime i see a post about this jaunty notification stuff, i get the feeling that i can finally see some screenshots, or at least a good scoop of what’s to come. Sadly, i’m always disappointed…

One more correction: It’s not true that “the code is still in very bad shape and was mainly for demonstration purposes”. The demonstration animations are not based on any code. We commissioned the animations to show what we are aiming for, and get feedback, *before* writing lots of code.

And I agree completely, which is why I made the post. The more people who see that these changes are coming down the pipeline, the better we can react and the sooner we can get work done to make this transition smooth.

I beat on Canonical pretty hard about upstreaming things, but I’m not going to give them grief for a demo experiment, its fine to experiment. But if Canonical is going to make a serious commitment to include these changes in the next Ubuntu release, Canonical needs to engage with upstream as soon as possible and as publicly as possible. If there are a set of upstream commit logs encapsulating Canonical’s work on this before Jaunty’s release date, instead of a set of patches in Launchpad.. I will be in the front row congratulating Canonical for engaging with upstream on this issue.
