How is it related to beagle? Which are the pro and cons of using it as a desktop search solution with respect to beagle or other existing solution (if any)? > extensible > metadata server and next generation first class object database all in > 100% C code. This is nice. We really need a central metadata server in GNOME (many apps are using in-house solutions to store metadata, see nautilus, gedit, evince, etc.) > Tracker now comes with a new GUI tool - Tracker search tool which is > based on the source of Gnome search tool and if accepted it should > replace this. It seems beagle have a nice GUI for searching, would it be easy/possible to copy/port this GUI using Tracker as backend (maybe implementing libbeagle-like API on Tracker)? Which are the data sources and file formats supported by Tracker? Is it easy to extends Tracker to add support for new data sources and file formats? Where can we find more info about how to extend Tracker?
