As Natty Narwhal doesn't support the Gnome Weather applet, create an indicator replacement. === Implementation === Weather Indicator uses Indicator framework and Python. Weather data is obtained from Yahoo or Google, and the Google Weather API is used for forecasts. |
As Natty Narwhal doesn't support the Gnome Weather applet, so an indicator replacement is required. This indicator goes above and beyond the original applet. |

The most notable ideas are: * 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 |

Idea
As Natty Narwhal doesn't support the Gnome Weather applet, so an indicator replacement is required. This indicator goes above and beyond the original applet.

- Optionally shows weather conditions and temperatures at several other locations
- Three levels of notification - none, on weather change, on severe condition weather change
Suggestions, Plans, TODO

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.
