Moreover, we are working on Nepomuk integration and at the moment we are
able to store and retrieve Creation/Modification Dates, Tags and Titles as
metadata in Nepomuk.

Currently you can search using Tags and Titles (Names) of notes in KRunner
of KDE. (KRuuner is the application that is executed when you press Alt+F2
in KDE)
At the moment, the only feature I would love to see a volunteer for

storing enough metadata to start implementing this feature.
