mehemiah's Journal: glscubed, thats sgl^3

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)
