Hi Jonathan,

> I'm trying to write a vim plugin to log its activity in the zeitgeist db.
Cool, thanks for doing this!

> Is a vim plugin using the python dbus interface the right way of doing it ?
Yeah, we'd like to have as much as possible of the logging done by
plugins (or even natively by the applications themselves).

Yes, but, if you are writing the plugin in Python, please consider
using the constants we provide ("from zeitgeist import datamodel"):
datamodel.Source.FILE and datamodel.Content.VISIT_EVENT (#TextDocument
is currently not available, we only have #Document
-datamodel.Content.DOCUMENT-).

> Should I add an "origin" entry ? with what content ?
This field is optional. It isn't really used for anything in the 0.2
series so leaving it empty shouldn't be a problem.

They are both required.

If you have any other question, here we are. You can also come over to
#zeitgeist on irc.freenode.net.
