Desktop search comparison: Beagle vs. Tracker

,----[ Quote ]
| Beagle and Tracker are projects that allow you to index your files so you can 
| quickly search filesystems. Both projects started out with the intention of  
| being used with the GNOME desktop, but have recently made a push to be 
| desktop-independent and work with KDE and other desktop environments. Over 
| two days, we'll compare their usability and performance.   
| 
| [...]
| 
| Beagle is written in Mono and Tracker in C. I'll avoid the language war here 
| about what is most efficient or uses more RAM because it is a discussion that 
| requires more than an article in itself. The choice of language alone does 
| not make one project a clear winner nor should it necessarily mean that 
| Tracker is more efficient.

GNOME 2.23.5 Released!

,----[ Quote ]
| Here's the first release after GUADEC. Istanbul. It was a great place.
| And some people actually had time to visit the beautiful city. Or to
| take a turkish bath. Sounds like a cool program, doesn't it? Of course,
| it was not only about this -- there were tons of interesting
| discussions, lots of sessions around various topics, etc.

Gnome conference – breaking new ground, starting from Istanbul

,----[ Quote ]
| The ninth European GAUDEC conference in Istanbul not only set the direction
| for Gnome 3.0, the next major release of the Unix and Linux desktop, there
| was also plenty of action on the Gnome Mobile front.

GNOME 3.0 Is Coming, And Coming Soon!

,----[ Quote ]
| The K Desktop Environment community came out earlier this year with their
| brand new KDE 4.0 release that marked significant advancements to this
| open-source desktop environment compared to its KDE 3.5.x code-base.
| Meanwhile, the GNOME community has been living in a 2.0 cycle for quite some
| time with no signs of a major overhaul, but their six-month release cycles
| just continue to deliver new refinements and minor improvements. The plans
| for GNOME 3.0 just put this release out when there is significant API/ABI
| breakage to GNOME 2.0 / GTK+ or a major rewrite. Well, in addition to
| announcing Stormy Peters joining GNOME, at GUADEC 2008 they have just
| announced plans for GNOME 3.0!
|
| [...]
|
| The only real information that has hit the blogs so far is that GNOME 2.30 =
| GNOME 3.0.

Plans for Gtk+/GNOME 3.0 surfaced

,----[ Quote ]
| At the GNOME conference GUADEC plans were presented how the transition to the
| new Gtk and GNOME is supposed to happen. The basic idea is to make the
| transition as smooth as possible by first cleaning up everything and
| introducing new concepts later on.
