Good to hear.

- Will Beagle be updated to work with the latest [sqlite based]
Evolution?  That is kind of a killer.

- Are there thoughts about Tracker vs. Beagle?  Sadly they chose to
write Tracker in C [WHY?? Ugh.] but it seems to have an active community
and the attention of the GNOME overloads (something Beagle seems to have
lost some time ago).  For example, it is likely to be supported by
Zeitgiest in GNOME 3.
