Here's a preliminary agenda:

1) Agree on the *goal* of the metadata spec. Describe the data structure or
just provide a list of fields for apps to query? It should be mentioned that
Apple's Spotlight does the former.

2) Ok, I really intended to let this slip a bit, but... There is an urgent
need to settle on a serialization format for the field and category
definitions.

3) Single inheritance or multiple inheritance?

4) Categories define what fields to expect?

5) We need to actually start fleshing out the fields and categories. Should
Evgeny just try and merge Strigi's and Tracker's ontologies so that we have
something to start from?

6) Evaluate proposed updates to the search spec:

proposals beforehand.


Sorry if it's a mess, it's way past my bed time :-)

Cheers,
Mikkel
