GNOME Summary
I have some concerns that the former Eazel people, coming out of the Mac world, are thinking exclusively of the situation where a home user has all her files on disks physically connected to one computer. At work, I operate in an environment where about a terabyte of data is accessible through automounted NFS and SMB servers, and my home directory is NFS-mounted as well. In an environment like this, it will not be very nice if a Medusa daemon fired up and tried to index the world, and if it restricted itself to indexing local disks, it would be of no use, because none of my data is stored locally.
In fact, I had just this problem when trying out early versions of Nautilus which contained early, buggy versions of Medusa.
