Re: Moving the data?

actually, Tenor is Swahili for "Big Brother". it will phone home to Scott if you live in Europe or to me if you are in North America (we still need Asian, African, South American and Oceania conspirators; applicants welcome) with all your linking secrets. All Your Tenor Are Belong To Us.

ok, seriously though. yes, there are privacy concerns and we've been talking about them at length. it's a perfectly tamable problem, but we won't see implementations of those solutions until we have the basics down first.

as for filtering out related Tenor subgraphs, we should be able to get that almost "for free" since given any starting point, it's possible to create a subgraph specific to that node with a given "radius" or specificity.

moving Tenor data between machines won't be hard; merging two meshes effectively will be an interesting task, however, as will defining boundaries of visibility.

removable media will also be a bit tricky since there is greater ambiguity in addressing ("ok, but the foobar.kwd on which CD?"). it's a problem we haven't yet gotten to solving, yet. i don't see it as insurmountable, we're just not there yet in the project is all =) it's also a problem common to all such indexing services.

Tenor Conspirator Volunteer position in Cupertino
by konqui-fan on Wednesday 13/Apr/2005, @21:33

I volunteer for the position in of Tenor Conspirator in Cupertino.

Also, if not taken, I'd like to cover the Redmond position too, as well as Armdonk and Mountain View.

If you accept me, I'll start to submit a weekly "Tenor findings CVS" to this list. I am quite sure that the Microsoft/Redmond blokes will will have a close look at it. Will be interesting to see their "mesh" workss. The same for the IBM/Armdonk or Google/Mountain View.

All these big players are known for lifting off OSS technology for their won good.... So let's watch them while they are ag work.

Indeed, amaroK doesn't have a solution to the removable media problem, despite it being often requested.

WRT the removable media issue: This question just reminded me of how well the good old Commodore Amiga handled removable media (with floppies though). You could have a desktop icon link to any file or application, and if you clicked on it the machine asked you to enter the disk DISKNAME into any drive.

That's something PCs still don't do half as well.
