Np :-)

The qtcontacts-tracker backend was written mostly by Mathias Hasselmann
and Adrien Bustany I think. I contributed some small things to the
package but most of my work was on Tracker's SPARQL endpoint on the N9.

Adrien, Mathias, me and other team members at Tracker did of course
discuss a lot on how to make qtcontacts-tracker's SPARQL queries more
efficient. For example the INSERT OR DELETE feature was added on request
and or as a direct result of the needs of the qtcontacts-tracker team.

Here is some reading fun of a year ago :)

Yes, yes. I'm studying its code and first things first: actually getting
it working on a Windows and then linking with it from our software.

This is for a customer who has a valid Windows use-case. It comes down
to "it'll work on Windows and MacOS X, or no Calligra". Regretfully.

So far I did a proof of concept on Linux. It's all looking great and
hugely promising. Next step is Windows support.

Kind regards,

Philip
