As I’m participating in GSoC this summer I finally decided to add my blog to the planet. A little about me: I’ve been using KDE and lurking^Wreading the planet for a while, but never got around to contributing to KDE until I wrote my GSoC application this spring. I’m hoping this will be the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship contributing to KDE. 
My project this summer is to do a little work to improve the lacking desktop search, via a relatively new technology in KDE: Nepomuk. Nepomuk allows us to do many cool things, but the big part I’m concerned with is the ability to do full-text indexed search. I plan to do both some UI improvements, mostly in Dolphin, and some changes to the nepomuksearch kio_slave to allow for greater usability. My full proposal is available here.
I’ll be posting here regularly with details of my project, as well as calls for input on the desktop search interface.
