Jamie, I don't want to lecture you, but if you want us to continue cooperating with projects like Zeitgeist the way we have been doing for the last few weeks, then please don't use terms like eliminate, inefficient and bad design. It's not helping. Also don't decide for another team what programming language they should use. It's their decision to make, not ours. You are aware already that I'm not much of a Python user myself. But that doesn't mean that I tell people that they should redo their project using something else. Zeitgeist people are interested in putting functionality into Tracker. Which of the functionality will be in Tracker and which of the functionality will be in Zeitgeist is going to be a process of many steps. We have been in discussion with them for many weeks and the cooperation and discussions are going great at this moment. Let us calm down on the rhetoric and let the Zeitgeist now implement their plans. They are mostly good. Let's see some code happening now. Afterward we'll start moving things around. > Also we should get tracker into Gnome within 6 months so clients can go > straight to tracker for metadata, tags, events etc Relax. All this is happening. Let it happen, don't push things. -- Philip Van Hoof, freelance software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org http://pvanhoof.be/blog http://codeminded.be _______________________________________________ tracker-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/tracker-list
