[Xesam] [Tracker] Proposal: Desktop Search hackfest

[Anders Rune Jensen]

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
