( see https://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Search_Hackfest ) Yay! Glad others are noticing! I am thinking about joining in order to help hacking on the beagle side of things. So far it looks like Kevin is the only one joining for beagle. Are there any thoughts on the concrete coding tasks proposed on the wiki - what should we focus on etc? Not much, I have a few thoughts though. I wanted to focus on the following: 1) Beagle-Xeasm work, we will have almost everyone involved in this spec available too us, so lets work on getting our compatibility 100% 2) Gnome-Do plugin. I want a solid beagle plugin for Gnome-Do, should be a super-quick codeup 3) Dashboard. I have a million and one ideas working for this, but the core of it would hopefully be getting some unified means of generating clue packets/context. I am thinking that utilizing screenreader api's to get working windows/text could be very helpful here. 4) Beagle Client Optimization. We still do the whole XML serializing and deserializing thing... Look into Dbus/Protocol Buffers to increase performance Prioritization of these tasks obviously depend upon what everyone here thinks/input at the hackfest. Kevin, would it be okay with you if i join you there? I haven't been involved much lately - just a little with beagle++ - but i think i still know at least a part of the codebase and i could help a bit. I might have a look at the xesam adapter before hand because it looks like that is something we will be working on quite a bit. Absolutely, it would be great to have more Beagle voices present in the discussions, as well as those willing to help code. As I mentioned above, those are the closest things to my tasks, but I am very open to more ideas!

Re: Desktop Search Hackfest
Hey Max, I am thinking about joining in order to help hacking on the beagle side of things. So far it looks like Kevin is the only one joining for Kevin and Lukas have signed up till now. Unfortunately most of the other people who are involved with the project wont be able to make it. I didnt email the list since there were not a lot of people who were participating lately; so I wasnt sure if people are at all interested. beagle. Are there any thoughts on the concrete coding tasks proposed on the wiki - what should we focus on etc? I missed Kevin on the IRC today, but I think it would be wise to take advantage of the fact that other desktop search devs would be there (looks like full team for Strigi/Nepomuk and Tracker). I have a few stray thoughts in mind, not much. * Someone was proposing a sort of test-suite with lots of sample files and a database of what works and to what extent. There is already a bunch of files in svn/trunk/beagle/testing/files but we never managed to create a proper test suite. If you all can decide a common test suite then that will help all the projects. It will also help the developers in improving their filters/analyzers. * A gnome-do plugin would be good and a krunner plugin would be good. You dont really need to be at the hackfest to do these though :-) * I know Arun (beagle-xesam author) is a bit busy these days, so any kind of help in beagle-xesam would be nice. Since Mikkel and other xesam people would be there, this is a good chance to figure out what needs to be changed in beagle or where beagle wont conform to the spec. I havent put much thought into the meeting; also I will be gone for a month starting Wednesday so pretty much that is all I can help you with.

Yeah, I've been meaning to apologize for this, I recently started a company, and its been a huge timesuck. We do datamining though, and have used beagle components, some patches which could probably be cleaned up and shared. its just a lack of time ATM. beagle.
