I oppose to drop NID3 and NEXIF - they are quite sanity tested and good because - they just copy ID3 and exif, two accepted industry standards. If NMM is not finished and you have no time to improve it, we would lose compabiltiy with aperture and the existing code when using NMM. Once NMM can cover all that NID3 and NEXIF cover and is "sanity proofed", we can discuss replacing NID3 and NEXIF, until then, I would keep promoting that we maintin NID3 and NEXIF and fix bugs there. Once both are fine, we can make a decision to drop one and communicate it. Note that dropping something (=making someone elses code break which was fine before) is usually something hated by everyone in the process (=because you force people to invest into something they could have for free if the change did not happen), so I would not do this lightheartedly. but good, we need more ontologies, I wrote you down as maintainer of NMM best Leo > > > Kind regards, > Urho > > _______________________________________________ > Xesam mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xesam > > -- ____________________________________________________ DI Leo Sauermann http://www.dfki.de/~sauermann Deutsches Forschungszentrum fuer Kuenstliche Intelligenz DFKI GmbH Trippstadter Strasse 122 P.O.
