I hope to have the DBUS stuff fully finished sometime next week.

Great.

I am planning to propose Tracker for next version of Gnome (hopefully 
there wont be too much resistance to prevent it getting in!)

The cut off date for new modules is 24th - 26th April (the week after 
Easter) - if you could have something usable before then it would be 
really great and will certainly help its inclusion in Gnome.

Other things that would help will include getting Deskbar to use Tracker 
by default for indexing things like .Desktop files, web bookmarks and 
history (IE all the stuff that delivers a faster startup time for 
Deskbar) and as its dbus based you wont have to compile in support as 
you do for beagle. I shall be working on getting tracker to index these 
services in the next few weeks.

thats great but this is the least important of the to-do stuff so it can 
wait til last.

Thanks for your help and support - its really appreciated!
