Excellent stuff. It's great to see a consensus reached on this - thanks to all 
involved.

I've made some minor edits. There's one edit I've hesitated to make and want 
to discuss here. The present article does not mention Nepomuk at all, but it 
is well known (to some of our users, at least). I think, if I read it without 
prior knowledge of the process I'd be thinking - so, is this Nepomuk or some 
entirely new thing? - it's a little confusing to me. I also think it is quite 
natural to refer to the *research project* by name.

I suggest that we mention Nepomuk once, probably in the first line under the 
'making desktop search usable' heading:

"developed in a European Union funded research project"
would become
"developed in a European Union funded research project (NEPOMUK)".

You guys have discussed this in person (and, I'm sure, at length) so if you 
don't want to go with that I've no problem :-) Just my opinion, coming to it 
externally. We did push the technology (Nepomuk) so the name exists. For the 
new tech, Baloo, I think it's right to keep it in the background as is done in 
the article. The name of the tech (or detail of its implementation) 
isn't/should not be really important to a user.

Otherwise, great article :-)

Cheers,
Stu
