It mostly boils down to the following - 1. More Extractors - The extractors we currently have are decent. We could possibly target some more exif properties, but I'm not sure what else we should be targeting. 2. File writeback support - While this is a great thing to have I do not think it accounts for more than a week's work. Also I do not rate this very high on my priority list. 3. WebExtractor Support - I would absolutely love to have this in KDE, but I'm not too sure about Baloo. We're no longer a central storage mechanism. We're mostly about searching. This would make a lot of sense with the respective applications - Juk and PMC, probably. Amarok - I'm not sure. Anyway, This will need to be discussed with those projects. I cannot mentor a project where I do not actively contribute. > * Extending Baloo so that it supports every multimedia-related features > needed by multimedia applications.

You could even make a library, but that *will* need to be discussed with the relevant applications first. > > I still have two days to modify the proposal.
