Hi martín,

Thanks, that is a great idea. It won't fit as part of the article
itself (we want to keep that from getting too long) but it DOES fit in
a concerted effort to communicate about Baloo. We could either publish
this interview on the Dot a week, maybe two, after the first article
to keep some attention on Baloo (and make sure we answer questions
people have) or we could publish it roughly simultaneously in another
channel, for example linux.com (although I'm not too happy about the
visibility of original content there) or another site.

As a journalist, you might have an idea about how to reach the most people ;-)

Absolutely. At the same time, as I point out, we should avoid making
people thing it is a entirely-from-scratch project as they have
(rightfully) had enough of such projects - they will immediately bring
up Akonadi and "KDE 4.0". Our message needs to be carefully tuned to
avoid the Nepomuk haters from immediately yelling at Baloo, yet not
create the impression we didn't learn from what went before.

Cheers,
Jos
