| * Show weather conditions for several locations as an icon and more information in indicator menu * Two metric systems and three wind units are supported * Three levels of notification - none, on weather change, on severe condition weather change |
* Shows the current weather conditions and temperature in the panel * Shows more information about the current weather in the indicator's menu * Optionally shows weather conditions and temperatures at several other locations * Three levels of notification - none, on weather change, on severe condition weather change |

| The most notable ideas are: * CouchDB integration - sync weather settings over several machines, caching weather data |
Right now, we're working on moving from pure Python to a Python/Vala combination, which will allow the indicator to have a very swish menu. Other additions in the forecastable future are: * Guess your location * 3 day forecasts in the menu * Use Weather Underground data |

| * Switch over different Weather APIs (Google, Yahoo etc.) * Use a custom widget in the menu for a fancy display of weather data |

Right now, we're working on moving from pure Python to a Python/Vala combination, which will allow the indicator to have a very swish menu.
Other additions in the forecastable future are:
- Guess your location
- 3 day forecasts in the menu
- Use Weather Underground data
- Show radar maps
Implementation
Weather Indicator uses the Indicator framework and Python. Weather data is obtained from Yahoo or Google, and the Google Weather API is used for forecasts.
