[Tracker] Tracker / Tomboy / Maemo

[Cornelius Hald <hald icandy de>]

Hello Everyone!

I'm the author of Conboy[1] a Tomboy[2] compatible note taking
application for the Maemo[3] platform. As the next version of Maemo will
feature Tracker, I thought I should add some support for Tracker to my
application as well. But before I can do that I still have some
questions:

* Is there already an indexer for Tomboy or GNote[4]? If yes, I think I
could reuse it because the XML file format is exactly the same. While
searching I only found this message (including some code):
http://www.mail-archive.com/tracker-list gnome org/msg00954.html

* Under /usr/lib/tracker I see extract-modules and indexer-modules. Is
there a document which explains the difference or could you please
explain shortly?

* If I understood correctly I could store my notes directly inside
Tracker without saving them as XML in the file system. What advantages
would that bring (except not having to read/write XML)?

It would be great if you could answer me those questions or point me to
the relevant places!

Thank you!
Conny
