Aperture Configuration Service

Basically, we need a gui to add datasources, remove them and configure them.

Also, the crawling behaviour is needed to be configured (crawl every X minutes, etc)

• Edit datasource config
  • add datasources
  • remove datasources (including crawled resources from ResourceStorage)
  • edit datasources config (including deleting crawled resources)
• Edit crawling behaviour - when, what to crawl

A list of all datasources is ApertureDatasources.

auto-configuration and datasource discovery

As detailed in UseCaseInstallationGnowsisFindsMyStuff We need a way for aperture to locate possible datasource. ticket:147 is assigned to hack this.

This is a bit tricky since it's:

1. Platform dependent
2. Very different for different datasources

In a way, each datasource implementation should have a method "find"/"location"/"isAvailable" or similar...

• FileSystem? - this is easy - we just point it at "My Documents" or "/home/username/"
• Thunderbird - again, if the user has a $HOME/.mozilla-thunderbird directory. This changes in different versions of thunderbird... (what version do we rely on anyway?)
• Firefox - same
• Outlook - i know nothing.
• ?

Maybe this could be a separate ticket for each one?
