Tracker not only a search system

edit

A group of programs for composing music are also called Trackers. For example Cheesetracker (Linux) or Modplug Tracker (Windows) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cschlegel (talkcontribs) 19:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Umm... wow, such amazing support. I know that's what it says on their Web site, but is it really necessary to copy their dumb copy which anybody can find on their homepage anyway? Features section - removed.--holizz 16:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's fast because it's written in C?

edit

I don't even want to know who wrote that this software is fast, because it is written in the "fast C language", but I have not read anything that wrong in a long time. Programs in C are not automatically fast and programs written in other languages are not necessarily slow. The speed of such a program will come mostly of the way it is implemented, i.e. the data structures and search algorithms it uses. Every other thing, including the language, is pretty much irrelevant. Maybe somebody with knowledge of both software development and this software can improve this article. I just found this software, so I can't be of much help. 78.54.122.250 (talk) 23:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

"One of the developers of the Conduit application has suggested using Tracker to create "a metadata-enabled GNOME""

Developers suggest that X could be used for Y all the time. Is there any reason this comment is considered encyclopedia-worthy? Is this developer an official spokesperson for GNOME? Is there a project to make "a metadata-enabled GNOME"? Why is this here?
