Dashboard
Nat Friedman, one of the founders of Ximian, is working on a Rembrance Agent like app called dashboard. Dashboard is supposed to index your personal information space and show you stuff that is relevant to what you are currently interacting with (an IM, e-mail, web page, etc). He and others are trying to whip in to shape for a demo at OSCON. That'll be fun since I'll be at the conference.
A few other interesting notes. This is one of the first Mono apps to be developed for Gnome, and that in itself is interesting. The team is also doing bindings to perl, python, etc, and there are hooks for GAIM and Evolution (of course).
One interesting comment that Nat made in the dashboard blog:

One important thing to realize is that it would never be possible to write something like the dashboard in a world where you can't get the source code to your applications. This is the whole "basis for innovation" thing we're always talking about.I hope so. All those apps also need updating to be network and synchronization aware, ala O'Reilly and Ozzie.
