Re: [Tracker] Roadmap to 0.7

[Jamie McCracken <jamie mccrack googlemail com>]

I started looking at fixing the UIs yesterday so hopefully should have
them fixed this weekend or early nest week-I might need to bug some of
you for improved sparql suport

Please dont release til we have them!

There also a number of things missing

Metadata rank weights-should be in ontology but they are not 

I wrote the fts rank funtion but it needs to be use the correct metadata
weight and be exposed by spqarql so I can order results by rank 

the rank function simply sums (weight * number of occurences) as fts
stores the positions and hence we known number of occurrences in the
index

for search tool I also need FTS snippets function to  be exposed by
sparql (its in fts and I modded it to be efficient)

The above is needed by search tool so I cant finish that off until that
is done. No doubt there will be other issues as I fix the Uis that
require mods to sparql

I also think we need the Events (onto, storage and possibly dbus) to be
added to that list. I can add it to the file indexer to store file
histories during indexing once its in our onto. 

I would like to eliminate the Zeitgeist daemon as what they want to do
is most inefficient - get relevant data from tracker to a python
middleware process and forward it on to clients. IOW their daemon acts
like a wrapper around tracker and is therefore redundant not to mention
bad design!!! They should use a c lib if they want to wrap tracker not a
python daemon!

Also we should get tracker into Gnome within 6 months so clients can go
straight to tracker for metadata, tags, events etc
