[Nepomuk] Re: nepomuk & gnome & firefox

[Sebastian Trüg]

AFAIK Gnome uses Tracker only. It would, however, be very simple to
write a wrapper service that provides the Tracker API from the Nepomuk
system. That way Gnome and KDE apps could share their data.
Nothing has been done here yet. As always the developer shortage in
Nepomuk is the problem.
As far as Firefox is concerned: Mandriva is putting effort into that one
again. Nothing has been released yet though.

All in all: we need developers at all corners!

Cheers,
Sebastian
