Yes, we'll try to keep to the latest version, if there's a need, but the
current version 0.6.6 is pretty stable.  The modification to the tracker
component is very light, only adding 2-3 methods, we are not doing any
heavy changing of the component at all.

Multi-tagging is added.  There are 2 sets of "tags", 1 is metadata
extracted by Tracker like image size, mimetype, duration, etc, and those
cannot be updated through user.  User can add and remove keywords to the
files using the interface we expose (or through Tracker) for their
application-specific tagging.

It will be still exposed (but through Tracker), not content manager.
Other application might still interact with Tracker, in fact, all other
Tracker-aware applications (like Deskbar, Nemo) communicates with
Tracker through D-BUS, otherwise, those application will break.

Content Manager will be just another lib that runs on top of tracker
that expose easier-to-use APIs.  The intention is that Moblin
applications should call the Content Manager's interface.  The D-BUS
interface in the design doc is what Tracker exposes.  The Content
Manager is just a C library.

I do not think the sample test app will need to be QAed, it is just
sand-boxing app that shows people how to use it.

I don't have a unit test plan yet, this is something that we can discuss
in the QA session that May and I will be setting up this week.
