Depending on the outcome of the GNOME module inclusion talks for Tracker (I know only the store has been proposed) I would like to see us switch to Tracker, not presenting a indexer based search is a regression as compared to the last few releases. While I love Beagle, it isn't well supported and upstream is practically dead, however as GNOME seems to be going in this direction it would seem that not shipping something like this would be a step back that we would have to reverse. Thus I would much rather see a plan to ship a modern Tracker release in preparation for GNOME 3 and beyond. Yes indexers suck up a lot of resources, but suggesting that they be removed for this reason in my mind shows a lack of vision as they do also give us some powerful capabilities which appear to be entirely forgotten. The time for integration of these capabilities is upon us and backing down now would be a grave mistake. Let Foresight be a catalyst for this change, let it be the platform developers come to for this integration work and let our users be the first to catch a glimpse of what this technology can do for us. This will probably be a good time to also propose that we do this right, talk to upstream for things like Zeitgeist, Tracker and Docky - ask them to help us present something useful, it doesn't have to be big for the 2.3 release but let there be something so users will get a taste for where we are going and let them know we were first to give it to them. As for gnome-do, while I do not use it personally I know quite a number of people who would be sad to see it go. It's a powerful productivity tool, if the problem is that it autostarts I think I have a patch for it, if there are further problems we can take them to upstream, having dealt with them before I can say that they work quickly and aren't the slightest bit offended by being told they have problems that need fixing. I think gnome-do is a powerful addition to the desktop, I believe it would be a mistake to remove it. - David _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list Foresight-devel@lists.rpath.org http://lists.rpath.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
