I will not be able to make it to the sprint but would like to work on sharing 
solution when sensible between applications.
For example, for Elisa, I have worked on a wrapper for the equivalent of Baloo 
on Android. I think that it could be also useful for Vvave (if Camilo agrees 
with that ;) ) or the Okular Android application (maybe).
Could finding how to host such Android API wrappers be discussed at the sprint 
?
