Description Jon Phillips 2007-02-07 13:59:40 UTC

Tracker is a "tool designed to extract information and metadata about your personal data so that it can be searched easily and quickly."

The wiki for this project used to be on the generic fd.o wiki: http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fTracker?action=highlight&value=tracker

The project is spread out across FD.o, Gnome, and private infrastructure. Since it is supported by desktop agnostic philosophy and is part of project wasabi and other desktop search specs, I'm hoping to get this project on fd.o's infrastructure.

This project needs: SVN, mailinglist (tracker@lists.fd.o), bugtracker product, web space (with php/mysql support), and some accounts added.

It is a dynamic project that is growing quickly and has garnered much attention. 

Oh, please add me to the project: rejon 

I will file for account creation in another bug post.

Please ping me if new information is needed.

Thanks!
Jon (openclipart.org, inkscape.org, etc)

Comment 1 Jon Phillips 2007-02-07 14:24:47 UTC

Sorry, I want to remove the following services from the request: SVN, bugtracker and mailing list. These things will stay on gnome.org for the time being, as they are publicized.

Thanks (hope this makes it easier)...

Can I help get this to happen? The tracker project is evolving and changing and it would be great to get in before gnome 2.18 is released...thx

Comment 3 Daniel Stone 2007-03-05 11:47:16 UTC

so you just need a website for the time being? what sort of web infrastructure do you need?

Comment 4 Jon Phillips 2007-03-05 11:54:30 UTC

Yep, just website for the time being...

Probably should get a mysql database too because want to install mediawiki.

If we can get .htaccess support, that would be nice too ;)

Comment 5 Daniel Stone 2007-03-05 12:01:15 UTC

okay, i'll get on this when i clear all the other sw requests, probably in a couple of days.  got a few more pressing things atm, sorry.

Comment 6 Daniel Stone 2007-03-11 16:38:34 UTC

how does this go with tracker (#10114)?

Comment 7 Jon Phillips 2007-03-23 11:15:11 UTC

XESAM is for a spec that will harmonize the various search/indexing/metadata apps like tracker, beagle, etc.

thx

We don't need this space anymore, because we are happy with the current setup.
