 I'm quite interested in the "Document store support" and "search 
(spotlight)" part.
 I wrote MyLibrary (http://www.people.virginia.edu/~yc2w/MyLibrary)
 partly because it's hard to find a cross-platform solution.
 Most meta-data file system is tied with OS, or last least, file manager.
 In MyLibrary, you can drag a folder into the source table (left one) and 
see the meta-data.
 (requires 0.4.7 and is not tested on GNUstep yet).
 Search will come later because I need to reimplement the search GUI.
 If Étoilé has a proposal on the search GUI and MVC model,
 I would be very happy to adapt it and try to implement.
