Re: [Tracker] Tracker presentation at NLGG

Hey Philip,

Darn, I noticed this too late :), Utrecht is at a feasible distance
from here, the weekend turned out busy enough anyway... Hope the talk
went well :), thanks for doing it.

That is a more than fair opinion, IMHO if we want to show compelling
frontends to Tracker, we should be looking into
gnome-music/documents/news/...

We actually are still halfway into doing the split of Tracker
subcomponents, I'd say tracker-needle looks like a candidate for early
splitting, I'd eventually love to remove the gtk dep from at least the
core of tracker (store, libtracker-sparql, libtracker-miner). It's
tracker-preferences which fits oddly here, having it standalone is
nonsense, I guess it could go together with tracker-miner-fs, at least
the settings presented affect there the most, not that I'm fond of it
as an UI, either...

Probably doing some of this splitting would be a nice goal for 1.10 :)

Cheers,
  Carlos
