Yes. I invited the lead dev of all desktop search projects I could dig
up. If my memory serves my well they include: Tracker, Beagle, Strifi,
Pinot, Recoll, GLSCube, and Nepomuk. If I missed something then please
help me out :-) (I didn't contact Microsft or Apple as I heard they
where hacking on their own toy projects). Everybody replied open
mindedly. Needless to say they want something more concrete before
saying anything final.

The idea was to first have a core team come up with an actual proposal
and then discuss that publically (well xdg is still public of course),
and then try and merge any conclusions into a final spec.

Cheers,
Mikkel
