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
