gnome-documents worries me because of its dependency on Tracker. As far as I can tell, g-d is linked from https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointOne/Features/FindingAndReminding - to https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Documents - which are just factual or planning pages, not discussion pages. (FindingAndReminding is even marked "obsolete"! - what about the sublinks to Document-Centric Gnome?) With the inclusion of gnome-documents, we are validating Tracker as *the* metadata store for Gnome. Tracker has many implications, and I would like to see a good discussion of whether it is the right thing for Gnome. Some starting points: - How is an existing $HOME handled? - What kind of maintenance needs to be done on the database? - Are we storing full-text indexes in the same database? - Are we storing non-metadata (e.g. contacts) in the database? - How do we handle metadata movement when files move around? - Is Tracker well-maintained now that Nokia is switching to something else? (I'm not sure if this is the right question, but something along those lines.)
