i found jon udell on zoe to be an inspiration for my thinking of what a web gui can do.

“Services could flow in the other direction, too. For example, ZOE spends a lot of time doing textual analysis of email. Most of the correlations I perform manually, using Outlook folders, could be inferred by a hypothetical version of ZOE that would group messages based on matching content in their bodies as well as in their headers, then generate titles for these groups by summarizing them. There should be no need for Outlook to duplicate these structures. ZOE could simply offer them as a metadata feed, just as it currently offers an RSS feed that
summarizes the current day’s messages.”

hmm.. xaraya running on localhost on users home computers with their idle 2 ghz cpus and connected 24 / 7 to the net. if i think about it, i am already trying to export a better view of my thoughts / files / email / contacts / calls to the web, accessible from everywhere (with the proper credentials).

• thoughts -> blog
• email -> imap web gui
• contacts -> web gui to ldap
• calls -> web gui for answering machine
• files -> webDaV

unfortunately those apps are all separate at this point. there is no framework yet to embed them all.
