Bazaar

Extending Bazaar for detailed metadata

Asked by alexbw

I am building a web application to version control scientific figures.
Bazaar seems like a good starting place, since it's open source, pluginabble, and written in Python (my favorite).

The biggest item on my list is extensive metadata. Contributors would need to be able to provide and search through detailed information on submitted figures. Would I be able to create this via a plug-in?

Alex, I would think about putting the metadata into files in the tree, and then querying them from there; this will probably be easiest if you need to check out or modify the tree outside of your tool.

As far as search you could look at building on the bzr-search plugin.

Can you help with this problem?
