It might be useful to integrate Geary and Zeitgeist:

http://live.gnome.org/Zeitgeist

Apparently there's a Thunderbird plugin for Zeitgeist that we could look at
for some ideas.

### History

#1

Updated by Adam Dingle over 1 year ago

Seif Lotfy from the Zeitgeist team has expressed interest in working on this.
We first need to decide which of the following we want:

  * Geary depends on Zeitgeist
  * Geary optionally depends on Zeitgeist (we have a configure --enable-zeitgeist option)
  * Geary has a plugin which integrates with Zeitgeist

Note that Zeitgeist is installed by default in Ubuntu, and has recently been
proposed as a GNOME module:

I would personally tend towards built-in support because I've come to rely on
zeitgeist and it takes care of details such as blacklisting and a format other
applications can read without Geary-specific API. If it's in the engine,
future engine API users could also use it implicitly without extra effort.

####

#3

Updated by Adam Dingle over 1 year ago

It turns out that Fedora 17 doesn't install Zeitgeist by default. Ubuntu does.

I would rather not depend on Zeitgeist until it is universally adopted by
major distros. So I think we should use an --enable-zeitgeist configure option
for now. Later, we can move Zeitgeist support into a plugin or simply bake it
into the Geary core if Zeitgeist becomes more universally adopted.

This would have to be a plugin, so depending on Bug 714883.
Comment 2 Michael Gratton 2018-10-28 22:26:06 UTC
I just wrote up a tracking bug for the plugin system over at gitlab that collects all of the requirements for feature requests that should be implemented as plugins in the one place, so closing this bug in favour of that ticket: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/issues/155
