</div></div>Hello.<br>
First of all, this is a very good proposal!<br>
I've got a few observations/questions, you can incorporate the answers<br>
in your proposal document.<br>
<br>
* In our existing code it's called QueryMaker, not QueryManager.<br>
* Is there a way to handle what in TagLib is extended metadata, such<br>
as composer, disc number or albumartist? I think this is important.<br>
* This is not required, but it would be cool if you could research a<br>
bit how much of this work could also apply to an apparently<br>
Nepomuk-compatible data store such as Tracker as well.<br>
* Finally, a commit is a committment. Do you plan to keep working on<br>
this project even after GSoC ends?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<br></li><li>Do you mean how extended meta data like disc number will be handled in Nepomuk? <br>If that is what you mean, there are already ontologies present to handle that metadata which are supported by Nepomuk.<br>For example,<br>
nid3:composer applies to Composer<br>nid3:trackNumber applies to Disc Number. <br><br>More details of these ontologies can be found <a href="http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/nid3/">here</a>.<br><br></li><li>
Yes, the last 2 points came to my mind after submitting my proposal. I made a note to myself just today about these 2 :)<br>I was too excited about Nepomuk that I forgot about Tracker. I will research more about this and get back to you soon.<br>
<br>And about my further commitment towards Amarok, I assure you that I will continue maintaining the code I develop and work more if necessary.<br>I'm in my final year of Bachelors program, and my future employer (who was himself one of the first open source contributors from India) has assured me I can spend time on contributing to open source during work hours.<br>
<br>And I have no other commitments so working for Amarok & Nepomuk will be easy.<br><br></li></ul><div>Hope I could clarify myself on a few notes there. </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>Phalgun</div><div><br>
