needs a link to the gnome page - content can be scrapped or minimized 
(was official but not any more)

its part of the spec thats been approved for discussion at the ubuntu 
mountain summit see:

https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/tracker-integration

https://features.launchpad.net/sprints/uds-mtv


its ubuntu specific so not relevant here
