A quick update for those of you who are using GIMP 2.8 under Ubuntu 12.04 or 11.10:
Otto's PPA which you've probably used to install GIMP 2.8 has been updated recently and it now includes GIMP Plugin Registry, recompiled to work with GIMP 2.8 (see how to install GIMP 2.8 in Ubuntu,
HERE).
GIMP Plugin Registry is a collection of hundreds of plugins for GIMP which includes
GIMP FX Foundry (a huge collection of scripts for GIMP), Liquid-Rescale, Safe For Web, Separate+,
Elsamuko (which includes effects such as "Obama Hope", "Movie 300", antique photo border and more), Warming and Cooling Filters and others.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry
For GIMP 2.6.x, you can use the WebUpd8 PPA to install GIMP PLugin Registry (it's also available in the Ubuntu 12.04 Precise repositories).

Seif has released Gedit Dash 0.1, a plugin for Gedit that uses Zeitgeist to display recently or most used items in new Gedit tabs. You can search both recently and most used items and also, the plugin generates previews which "try to jump directly to some code or text from your work".
Here are a few screenshots:
Gedit Dash works with Gedit 3 only and requires Zeitgeist and "zeitgeist-extension-fts". Both are already installed if you use Ubuntu. For other Linux distributions, you can get them via Launchpad:
Zeitgeist |
Zeitgeist Extensions.
To use the Gedit Dash plugin, firstly install python-pygments:
sudo apt-get install python-pygments
Then download it from
HERE (or get the branch: "lp:~seif/gedit/dash"), extract it and create the
~/.local/share/gedit/plugins folder if it doesn't exists already:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins
Then extract the downloaded archive and place the "gedit-dash" folder under ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins (".local" is a hidden folder in your home directory so press CTRL + H to see hidden folders). Now all you have to do is restart Gedit and under Edit > Preferences > Plugins, enable the Dashboard plugin.
