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)
Both the new GNOME Shell and GNOME Zeitgeist are going to be core components of GNOME 3.0, according to [1].
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
I sure hope so. Using Vala would give most of the benefits of C# without incurring in the same overhead. [1] http://live.gnome.org/ThreePointZero/Plan -- Andrea Bolognani <eof kiyuko org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
