Re: [Tracker] Proposal: Desktop Search hackfest

["Anders Rune Jensen" <anders iola dk>]

Hi

I've just booked tickets and will be joining the hackfest to represent Nemo (Arriving 18, leaving 22). My hope is to give some insight from the point of a user of the search engines. I tried updating the wiki page but it appears that the wiki is majorly broken. It detects my ip as localhost and furthermore the login doesn't work. So could someone with more powers update the desktop search wiki? ;-)

Thanks

Proposal: Desktop Search Hackfest.
Calling to: Xesam, Beagle, Tracker projects and whoever else is involved.
When: September 19 + the days the developers decide before & after.
Where: Berlin.
Why: The Board made a call to organize hackfest around events and the
Maemo Summit has answered.
Budget: Funded by Nokia within reasonable terms.

But why?

Ok, let me explain. We have some budget to sponsor participants to
https://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Summit_2008 . We want to find a balance
between Maemo community contributors, related upstream developers and
core developers of the Maemo SW team at Nokia. We think organizing a
GNOME hackfest is a win-win.

Desktop search is an interesting area. Federico explained in GUADEC
the problems of Oralia finding her stuff and there are many more
things unsolved. It is becoming a critical area, considering that
users are getting more volumes of data, more types of files and they
have them spread through several devices and the Internet.
   

Its a good idea and I know the tracker devs including myself will want
to attend

I would prefer it if it was Desktop search and *Metadata* as the search
aspect is already well covered in Xesam but the use of a centralised
metadata is critical to having a well integrated desktop.
