= Scott Wheeler = == KDE 4: Beyond Hierarchical Data - The Desktop as a Searchable Web of Context == http://www.fosdem.org/2005/index/dev_room_kde Scott is well known in KDE as the developer of Juk, you can read an interview with him about Juk on kde.nl http://www.kde.nl/apps/juk/en/interview.html Last year he gave a talk at FOSDEM about making search pervasive throughout KDE. It inspired such headlines as "KDE to include Google-type desktop search" http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/linuxunix/0,39020390,39164634,00.htm http://jriddell.org/programs/akademy/writeups-2-scott-wheeler-metadata Scott will be giving a talk at FOSDEM. '''Please introduce yourself and your role in KDE.''' '''Why kind of search capabilities do you think a modern desktop should have?''' '''Where did the idea of integrating a search capability throughout KDE come from?''' '''What do you think of other search tools such as Gnome's Beagle and Google's Desktop Search?''' http://www.gnome.org/projects/beagle/ '''Do you think free software solutions from KDE and GNOME can compete with the likes of Google and Microsoft?''' '''Has there been any progress on planning or coding search into KDE yet? Is anyone helping you? What problems are you facing?''' '''What technologies do you plan on using, e.g. which database?''' '''Is the KDE search tool likely to be cross desktop compatible so we could have a common base with Gnome?''' '''What does the project need most now?'''
