Some feature ideas, contribute or fork?
I recently installed the indicator applet. I really like the concept, but it lacks a some things that make it really annoying and inconvenient to use for me. These are the things I'd like to have:
1) The ability to filter by application, title and body ¹
2) The ability to set timeouts (global or filter rule), after which the notification will disappear
3) The ability to keep only the last x notifications (per application or filter rule)
4) Only collect notifications when the user is inactive (but allow filter rules for always collect)
5) Group notifications by application (or filter rules)
6) Open the corresponding application when clicking an item
7) Provide a configuration GUI
8) On Ubuntu, follow the application indicator design guidelines (blue instead of green for new items, like the messaging menu)
Are these ideas compatible with your intentions for further development of Recent Notifications, or would I be better off forking the project instead of contributing? (I would likely still contribute desired changes back.)
¹ I am aware this is already a blueprint and will probably work on it soon (but I still have to get familiar with the code as a whole first).
