About Miranda - Linux File Organizer

(logo)

Miranda is inspired by Belvedere written by Adam Pash of Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/341950/belvedere-automates-your-self+cleaning-pc). I know you guys must be thinking "Hmm, Miranda, isn't that an IM application ?"; Yep I hear you, I'll change the name once I get a good name. I am open for any suggestions.

Miranda is written in Python, meant for Ubuntu, but hopefully it can be tested for every Linux Flavour. I have nothing much to offer in return for the software,but I will acknowledge your contribution in the software, and give credit to anyone helping when I feature Miranda in How-To Geek : http://www.howtogeek.com/

I am a beginner in python, so the code may look a bit messy, and I am open to rewrite the code if I can get a mentor whom I can pair with for coding the application. I do have 7+ years of programming, web development, database, desktop, you name it. So I am not totally blind of programming, but it will be great to get an experienced python programmer who has the passion for coding, and the patience to mentor a beginner python.

The chief geek has given his nod of approval to publish Miranda through how-to geek, and I can pitch any of your software to him, and write an article about it - provided that the chief geek approve the software.
