[Tracker] Website patch...

I have update some part of the website:

the faq and the download part and the development.

Feel free to use, modify or not use it.

is a svn diff from the last revision of the website.


Other changes that I propose:

1) Documentation :
 -. Quickstart (mainly the GettingStart section (revisited) merged here)
 -. UserGuide:
        -. Explain the tracker.cfg file
        -. Explain how to access tracker from the command-line
        -. Explain how to tag
        -. Explain how to use it from the GUI
        -. Explain how to access it from the DeskBar

2) Roadmap (New page):
 -. Move the roadmap here... Maybe we can write something useful using
what Jamie has proposed for these holidays?

3) News (New page):
 -. Use this page to show the changes release-by-release [Cut&&Paste
from the ML announce would do the trick]

4) Remove Getting Started (Merge this part under the Documentation page
as Quickstart that would contain)
-. Show how to install from the source
-. Show how to install from a .deb or a .rpm
-. Show how to do a quick search.

5) Screenshot are not ok.
The img are not available on the images directory, that's why they are
not shown. Proposed fix:
-. Recover those imgs somewhere an put them on the images directory
-. Make new screenshots :)

6) The footer is always different on each page.
Maybe something:

Last Update: xx-xx-xxxx
Original site designed by Peter Vander Klippe (peter.vk gmail,com)

where "Last Update" is automatic detected, so we have not to update
everything by hand, would be better?

Michele.

+Short: Yes.</p>
+<p>Long: Tracker is able to detect the mime type of the file. In other words this means that if you want to 
search only for "foobar" in your mp3 collection, you can do it. Tracker will show you only the your mp3's 
files, and not all the other files (Documents/Video/...) that have foobar as title or content [see the next 
one].

+It depends on the type of the file.
+For text file tracker retrieve all the information that it can, from the title to the content of the file.
+For a music file, i.e.: mp3, it can retrieve the Artist, the Title of the song, the Album and more over.

+Beagle and Tracker are built for the same aim, but they are written with different technology and different 
ideas on mind.
+<ul>
+<li>Beagle is written in C# and it depends on the mono virtual machine to work, Tracker is written in plain 
C.</li>
+<li>Tracker, the engine, is desktop-agnostic and follows the freedesktop guideline.</li>
+<li>Tracker is faster and is not memory hungry, because it has not to start a virtual machine, like beagle 
has to do.</li>
+<li>Beagle is older than Tracker</li>
+<li>Beagle starts with "B", Tracker starts with "T" ... (only for fun :) )</li>
+</ul>

+There is a Gtk2 gui for tracker. The name is <code>tracker-search-tool</code>. Check the <a

+A Gui for the qt library is under development.
