Not really. The four month is to give it a decent finish: to finish integration, documentation, translation, and fixing bugs. The app should have already proved to be the right choice. One way to prove that is to be widely in use by major distros. Another may be to have the vote of major figures in the field inside GNOME. It's really not Russian roulette :-). To let us know what exactly Tracker does, maybe you can write some stuff down in live.gnome.org, describe some usecases, how GNOME apps can benefit, etc. The entire "it's different from Beagle" thing makes it not clear what it is. -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Commandment Three says Do Not Kill, Amendment Two says Blood Will Spill" -- Dan Bern, "New American Language" _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
