The Gtk+ environment is being ported over to mac os x so it can be run natively instead of having to run in x11 or xdarwin or what ever x11 environment a mac user might be using.

From the post

The source is included in CVS for Gtk+ and Pango, see the Build Instructions for more information on getting and building the source. Discussions about further development take place on the Gtk-devel mailing list. If you want to help out with the development, please take a look at the Things to do page for a description of what is left to be done.

It worries me to attempt to propose the idea that the study of theology is of similar caliber to that of physics. The studies are both to obtain an understanding of the world around us, or the nature of the universe. Also, like quantum theorists, they are also making theories based on theories that are all hard to prove but are still felt necessary to the researchers. They are trying to find purpose of existance because they couldn't believe that the existence had no beginning and will have no end and that we are all simply fragmentations of equilibrium or entropy. I mostly appreciate the people that feel that it is worth it to know more about existence than the subset that is handed to them or what lies just beyond their nose

I can't believe this hasn't been slashdoted before, I think this is the best candidate for bringing a semantic storage method to GNU/Linux desktop. This should be desktop environment independent and I believe that it could still make it out before WinFS. If you don't know what I mean by semantic storage, I am over generalizing the idea of searching your HD by tags and metadata, essentially Spotlight.

The idea is explained at glscubed.org, it stands for GNU/Linux Semantic Storage System (GLSSS), (this would look right if I could use the sub/sup tags). I also think its a better idea (as far as implementation goes) than beagle or Kat, but the best part is, desktop environment independent I can use it on fluxbox. now I just need a graphical front end (or not, works through console too) and a launcher based on it (think quicksilver)
