When applying for inclusion for GNOME 2.18 lots of followup mail was
just about requesting an exact & understandable explanation on what
tracker does, and what not.
The answers were partially confusing and sometimes considered vague
and/or inconsistent. To quote jdub from that thread: "Great technology
loses out to poor communication."

Hoping that communication works out better this time...
