From kde-promo Tue Feb 18 21:49:04 2014 From: David Edmundson Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 21:49:04 +0000 To: kde-promo Subject: Re: [kde-promo] Article about Baloo Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-promo&m=139276016401116 I think the important thing is to remember is that the promo team should be using their relevant expertise to help the developer achieve the promotional goals the developer has, I'm concerned that due to Vishesh's lack of availability we risk accidentally imposing our own agenda. Vishesh gave me the distinct impression that he wanted to put some distance between Nepomuk and Baloo. Vishesh certainly isn't stupid and I'm sure well aware of the pros and cons to both approaches, we discussed them at length in the office on many occasions. Vishesh is certainly going to have the best awareness of the public perception of Nepomuk out of any of us here and probably knows best. Personally, I think it is a mistake to continue pushing Nepomuk on the premise that we have already put a lot of effort into branding Nepomuk. It's a very deliberate change of tact in the code and IMHO that should be reflected in how we publish it. Knowing the codebase somewhat, the design objectives between the two are very different; there is no semantic linking between objects, just independent fast search stores in various places. I think it's important that developers to see them as being different so they do re-evaluate it's usefulness for their project. From a developer point of view, they are very different. Lets check our goals align with Vishesh's before we try and come up with a plan on how to achieve it.
