Here’s my concept of how Minerva’s main window would appear. In this example I have four priority categories. You can see the icons to the left that illustrate what type of content is in each column.
The window below is an example of setting preferences. Minerva picks up your address info from Address Book. For each e-mail address in the book you can set a priority level and indicate if you want to share calendars with that address. Note that some contacts in the list have multiple e-mail addresses and each address has its own priority level/calendar sharing properties.
And here is Minerva’s response after silently scanning an instant message session. Minerva catches the references to an appointment and pops up a dialog box asking if you want to accept it. The “Change” button at the bottom is if you want to change any of the specifics such as the time or date.
Send me your comments on these mockups, Thanks!
