"Informant" is a software suite that provides various tools to keep a user updated about events occurring in their system.
Informant is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, making it easy to use whether you're a beginner or an experienced user. The current implementation is available as either a Gnome Panel applet or a standalone Gtk program, both of which come with a range of useful features.
One of the key benefits of Informant is that it's written in the Python programming language and uses the Twisted network programming framework. This means that it's fast, efficient, and reliable, making it a great choice for anyone who needs to stay informed about events in real-time.
When you use Informant, you'll notice that the informant changes from "No alerts" to "New Alerts" when a source whispers an alert. This is a useful way of staying on top of things without having to constantly monitor your devices.
Informant comes with a range of sources to choose from, including the original CVSToys source, an e-mail filter source and a daemonized version of it, an RSS feed source (relying on TouRSSt), a web page change monitoring source, and a simple command line source that can be called from anything else. All of these sources are easy to use, and you can even write your own if you need to.
Overall, Informant is a reliable, user-friendly set of utilities that's perfect for anyone who needs to stay informed about events. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, you'll find that Informant has everything you need to stay on top of things.
