Informant

What is it?

Informant is a set of utilities for keeping a user informed of events. It consists of an informant, which is the means by which the user is alerted to the occurrence of the said event, and a number of sources that "whisper" an alert to the informant when the event occurs.

The current implementation is implemented as a Gnome Panel applet or a stand alone Gtk program. It is implemented in the Python programming language and uses the Twisted network programming framework.

Informant is released under the LGPL.
