support for Hyppocampus

hello people! I agree the idea of a new concept of filesystem like this http://hyppocampus.sourceforge.net/index.php
sorry but all pages are written in italian.. I'll try to explain what this project would realize...
first of all hyppocampus is a part of the LOBOTOMY project that contains also synapse (a file manager forked from nautilus), braintop (a WM realized to take advantage from the new concept of FileSystem) and other stuff less important :)
hyppocampus' purpose is to implement a real relational filesystem and to completely throws away the hierarchy structure. I think this is the only way if we want a relational FS and we don't want to fail like WinFS (that was only an heavy layer on NTFS). I know there's a project called tenor.. but isn't very different from winFS, so I guess it'll be very expensive in terms of memory...
My idea is to create a konqueror profile to support this concepy of FS in kde4 and to adapt the next kde WM to this task.. this will be a very revolution!! ;)
here there are some ideas from synapse project http://synapse.berlios.de/docs/Designing_Synapse-0.1.html

I hope you all understand what I've just written... :D

unfortunately I realized that the project is quite dead :( .. but the idea of the file manager is cool anyway in my opinion... I think (hope) that a relational filesystem will appears in the near future :)

Hi all: I found this post randomly googling, and I'm happy to see that someone noticed the Lobotomy Project ;-). I am the founder (and, at the moment, the only developer) of the project, and I'd like to evidence that Hyppocampus and the others of the Lobotomy suite aren't defunct, just proceed really slowly due the fact I can dedicate them only some hour per week.
Currently there is a page, http://lobotomy.sf.net , where all news and documents are released in a bad but understandable English (I'm italian ;-P ). I'm working on the 0.2 release of Hyppocampus and Synapse, which are very unstable and extremely experimental but permits to interact in some manners with the relational filesystem. In the above linked URL you find also some screenshot of the current state of the filemanager.
I hope someone, reading this post, have interest about this ambitious work, and decide to collaborate as developer, tester or just advancing some suggestion.
