Re: [Vala] Zeitgeist porting

[Jamie McCracken <jamie mccrack googlemail com>]

Why?

Whilst it has some interesting ideas, its a mere prototype and is by and
large irrelevant to gnome as it stands (and thats true of gnome-shell as
well - they are both purely experimental)

If the ideas prove worthy it will be rewritten in a non-vm language and
will likely use tracker which is infinitely more powerful given the
ability to show all your docs, music, photos as derived from its indexer

I very much doubt an important always on component will be acceptable if
its coded in a VM - that has been the way with gnome to date and I dont
see that changing
