I think this recent discussion about tracker as a gnome module is somewhat backwards. I don't think it is leading us anywhere to talk about ontologies and rdf and events and timelines and metadata stores and kernel apis before we answer the first question:
What is the user problem that we are solving here ? Can that be described in a paragraph ? And if it can, is it something that a 'regular' user would recognize as a problem he has on his computer ? Once we have the problem scoped out, we need to look at the user experience we want to aim for in solving it. Will it be a single search-for-everything dialog ? A query language ? Tagging everywhere ? After that, it might be possible to evaluate whether tracker, zeitgeist, couchdb or something else can be part of the implementation...
