Sorry for the cross-posting (just this one time).

I propose to build this project in the labs with the proposed name 'magnet' (doap attached). Suggestions for a better name highly appreciated.

Most of what's needed I will take from the Memories app I presented @apachecon. Only 2 things are missing, the posting to twitter part (my app only used searches, but not a biggie) and to modify the UI. I can have a working alpha in about a week.

I hope the labs will accept this proposal and I assume that:
* on labs@ we'll continue the technical discussions
* on comdev@ we'll continue with more ideas/suggestions/requirements
* members@ will be aware of the effort.

Cheers,
Hadrian

    Seems like there are now a few people interested in taking it
    forward. Maybe time to take the thread over to the comdev lists now?

    This can be decided/agreed upon later. Who/how has access to the
    credentials as well.
