Hi! I was wondering what kind of schema paths should adopt during the migration to GSettings. Old GConf paths feel really lame, since we basically put everything into /apps, with a few general settings going to /desktop. Only /system really makes sense. This reminds people of the horrid Windows Registry's HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and friends! ;-)
If we want to choose a better way of organizing schemas, the time is now. What about going with something similar to D-Bus, with /org/gnome/my-app? This feels pretty natural, and settings would be sorted much more logically. For most simple schemas, name and path would be equivalent (i.e. org.gnome.my-app), which makes sense. System-wide settings could go into /system. Or do we want two top-level directories, /user and /system? The migration docs don't say a word about this, and Ryan told me he hasn't planned anything for that. So let's discuss this before it's too late!
