Picking up the track from Gnome d-d-l I am interested in hearing if your are
also looking into a unifying dbus api for desktop indexers? Being a deskbar
developer I am greatly interested in this part of a potential spec.


If you are more on the metadata extraction part of it now (as it would seem)
I can try and make an overview of the current available apis, and try to
make some form of synthesis we can use as a base for further discussion...

Cheers,
Mikkel


PS: What indexers are around (and actively developed/maintained, and
actually has working code):

 - Tracker http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/
 - Beagle http://beagle-project.org/
 - Strigi http://www.vandenoever.info/software/strigi/
 - Pinot http://pinot.berlios.de/
 - GLSCube http://www.glscube.org/
 - Nepomuk http://nepomuk-kde.semanticdesktop.org (do they have any code?)
