Great to hear! I like the name :-)

Do you have any plans for a standard way of installing new filters? Wasabi
could use this (as has also been mentioned on Gnomes desktop-devel-list).

I've been discussing it a bit with various people on how to standardize
this, but it is tricky business. In some cases it is enough to specify hpw
to index files matching a particular pattern, but there are also cases like
emails residing in a database in a hidden directory, indexing of web pages
as you browse etc...

I think it would also be a good idea to wait atleast until after Fosdem
before pouring many hours into any code. I will be hyping Wasabi as much as
possible and hope to get some useful critique/input there.

Cheers,
Mikkel
