Banshee is only a bit better tha Rhythmbox. RB with some plugins is pretty feature-pair with Banshee. About f-spot, it is true that Shotwell is a less mature software, but it is *faster*. >> On the other hand, Mono on iOS, Android, etc. have all been warmly >> welcomed by the communities that adopt them -- and they have much >> larger user bases to boot.

Are they the GNU project that releases GNU Emacs for Windows, Mac, AIX, Solaris, Ultrix and even MS DOS? Actually, labels like "zealot", "extremist" and so on, applied to some people, are obsolete. On the other hand, I know a zealot: he still loves Silverlight while Microsoft loves html5/js/css3 now. The point is different: really, I don't see any "warm" around mono. This is simply because there is not a mono killer application. Beagle could be it, because it was very much better that free and non-free alternatives. The distance between Banshee and RB is short, the distance between Beagle and alternatives was very long. Mono is great as framework, I know. But today I can have a very good desktop without it, if I want. But I cannot have a good desktop without Python.

Re: Is beagle completely dead now?
Recoll is good, but is different from Tracker and Beagle and it does't fit with GNOME desktop very good. On the other hand, tracker 0.8 and 0.9 are pretty usable. I use it on a PC and works well, also if Beagle was far better. It is very sad that mono folks are so committed with applications like f-spot or banshee, that have many good alternatives, or on mono-mac, mono-iOS, mono-android mono-whatyouwant, while Beagle died. In the past I appreciate beaglefs that could be the first step of a next generation database-based filesystem. Now I use mono to cut my photos. ___ dashboard-hackers mailing list dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers

Well, MdI is *not* stupid at all. To leave Beagle unmantained is stupid. If you are his friend, please say him Beagle is dying. Because he is not a stupid, I think MdI will do something. I think only Novell could save Beagle: Beagle is written in Mono. No one, no company, want to write software in Mono because patent issue. You know, this issue is too dangerous for business. But Novell have a deal with MS on patents, then Novell can. Novell can demostrate the patent deal is useful for users. If not, all FLOSS users will realize the deal is not a serious thing.

This is a suicide for Suse. Corporate users need to search in Evolution mail, IM messages, files, visited web pages and more in the same time. Only Beagle can do it, if upgraded and mantained. Beagle can do the difference on enterprise desktop. To leave it unmantained is stupid. Well, I think there are some stupids men in Novell (did someone say "Miguel"?), but I hope not so stupid.

I love Beagle. I don't want it die. But I'm not a c# developer, so I can't help. But Beagle is part on Suse desktop. Novell CAN'T leave Beagle unmantained.

(proposal) BeagleFS GUI
Hi dears, I wrote a simple GUI for BeagleFS (yes, I love it). You can find it on my blog: http://guiodic.wordpress.com/2009/07/10/beaglefs-gui-uninterfaccia-grafica-per-beaglefs/ (my blog is in Italian, but you can find links to source and binaries easily). Well, I would like to integrate it in Beagle-search and propose the patch to you, but I'm not able to find a Monodevelop project. Does it exist? Thank you. ___ Dashboard-hackers mailing list Dashboard-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dashboard-hackers
