    You fell for Michael's intentionally misleading phrasing

    This was an EU research grant. We are lucky that one of the involved companies, Mandriva, did actually produce code. I would be surprised if they got more than tiny scraps of the whole pie, with giants such as Thales being involved as well.

      Nepomuk uses Virtuoso, not MySQL.

        That's because everyone else knows that the EU did not spend 17million Euros on a relatively minor software project

        People might wonder why only one, small, participating entity, Mandriva, managed to create something that went into actual use.

          Nobody did that.

          Too goddamn hilarious.
          Would have been hilarious if that is what had happened. Since it didn't, you will have to find something else to amuse you with

            Ahh Nepomik, that thing which nobody asked for that slowed KDE down for no visible benefit. Maybe it did something useful in theory but who knows? The fact it was a government project now makes perfect sense.

              Yeah, who needs government projects. A worldwide network to allow computers to talk to each other, satellites that let us figure out where we are, using radios to detect objects that can't be seen, making it harder for others to listen in on our conversions, all a waste of time.

                Well to be fair, desktop enviroments like KDE (windoze style and bloatware) doesn't have any future in the post pc era. We need tablet oriented desktop enviroments and aplications.

                look at the pipad for example, windoze style of lxde, what a waste

                  I'm in the (un)fortunate position of having dropped KDE in its entirety due to the its 4.X groupware instability. It used to be (pre-4.0) that kde was the only real choice for integrated Mail/Contacts/Calender/Office/Chat under linux. Ultimately, I ended up switching my family over to Apple/Mac for our day-to-day usage and now run linux in a VM to get my work done.

                  It saddens me that it did not work out differently, as I was rather fond of the old KDE ecosystem, and really excited prior to the 4.X release.

                      Does any one else actually use any features from nepomuk?..
                      I do and I had nothing but pleasent experiences ever since Vishesh Handa became the maintainer. Baloo is being build on the experiences Vishesh gained with Nepomuk but he was restricted keeping backwards compatibility. With Baloo this is gone and he is even more free to optimize stuff.
