Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp
Ubuntu means 'human' but it too often fails to remember that it is genuine
humans for whom it is written. A program called "TRACKER" showed up in the
latest release and the interface is almost an empty screen. Intrigued but at a
loss to understand what and how I could use it, I searched Help, Synaptic and
the web site of tha authors. Having read the information available I know
nothing more than when I started this odyssey. Here is what I found:
Tracker is an advanced framework for first class objects
with associated metadata and tags. It provides a one stop solution for all
metadata, tags,shared object databases, search tools and indexing.
Let me point out that this is gibberish and computer program jargon of
the densest type. "advanced framework", "first class objects",
"metadata", "shared objects" are all useful computer jargon that carry
possibly explicit meaning to those who write the programs but are
utterly incomprehensible terms to the great majority of those who would
use the program. If Ubuntu is to be of greatest use to humans, it has to
address us in language that is meaningful and informative. Including a
program like Tracker without any hint of its usefulness or method of use
appreciably degrades Ubuntu.
I look forward to hearing from you what you feel to be the correct
analysis of this issue. Dan Devor/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
