The point is that we already use Tracker in GNOME (Documents and Boxes depend on it) and I don't see any reason for existing apps to stop using it and while we could compromise on some code-duplication, its certainly a big issue if there is two entities harvesting metadata from tons of photos on every GNOME installation. > If Yorba is open to follow the designs from the GNOME design team, I can't > see any reason why we shouldn't go that way.

Having said that I do feel that they need to do a bit more on this front. For starters they really should use our infra (bugzilla, git, mailing-list etc). -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
