Hi,
Here's a patch for some grammar correction and to add some consistency
(tracker -> Tracker) in some of the pages, and some other minor
stuff...

<li> A cross-application metadata database. If applications chooses to use Tracker as their metadata database and indexer, they would see signifigant improvements. Users would no longer need to add a MP3 they have downloaded to Rhythmbox, nor a photo they have taken to f-spot, these items would be detected and imported automatically.</li>
<li> Users may completely move away from a folder-heirarchy based home folder, and instead organise their data into collections using tags. The combination of tagging support in the file-chooser, tagging awareness in Nautilus, or even a tag based filesystem using FUSE could allow radical exploration of new desktop ideas.</li>
- <li> Improved performance. With an always running indexer application start up time could be dramatically reduced in instances where applicaions scan or parse a numer of files on disk. For example alacarte could use tracker as its desktop file parser, or rhythmbox could use tracker as its song index. In addition by using a DBus based API one can take advantage of asynchronous replies for improved GUI responsiveness.</li>
