[Tracker] what's the plan for tags and metadata in Tracker?

["B Berteh" <berteh hotmail com>]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to contribute to the support of tags and metadata in Tracker...
since this is especially relevant to me.

My ultimate goal would be to have a tag-aware desktop, with integrated
- file savers guis suggesting and storing tags for files being saved;
- file choosers guis using tags, self-completion and metadata for
opening files;
- tags and metada kept when files are moved/copied;
- semantic-based file system, no folders but rather queries that present
different views on the same data;
- same for other apps: browser bookmarks, mail sorting, adress book sorting;
- possible integration with semantic web technologies for improving the
share of annotations, tags and metadata: ontology-based tagging would be
possible, a.o.

and so on... but other people wrote/did much about it, such as
http://dbfs.sourceforge.net/
http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/blog/index.php/2007/02/06/a-metadata-enabled-gnome/
http://primates.ximian.com/~federico/docs/file-chooser-extension-spec/
....


Is all work in Tracker following the Xesam Roadmap or is there other
place I should stick to to have an idea of the ongoing work?

If anyone would like some (small) help in his ongoing work feel free to
drop a mail by, I'll gladly have a look.

thanks,
Bertrand.
