But then you already require them to behave as a singleton, so perhaps you don't need to force them to do it via libosso + DBus, even if these will be used in practical implementations and in sample code. > >> 7 Have correct .desktop file format and contents <example> > > > > Might want to refer to the freedesktop standard + required fields. > > Right..

Hildon might not follow all FreeDesktop standards, but the format of the .desktop file itself it respected (I think); X-Maemo is used for custom fields etc. > >> 2 UI works on 800x480 and 1024x600 > >> 2.a Can read text on both resolutions <suggested font > >> sizes> > > > > Apps should use the system's default font size, no? > > True. And "readable" is subjective anyway. I can't read the Sony UX > screen at default resolution. Perhaps a better wording would be: > "Text is displayed at system default size and is not inappropriately > or unexpectedly cut off" Hmm ok; I'm not sure it should be too strict; we want to allow zoom in / zoom out when it's needed, we want to allow big on screen text for e.g. the title of the currently playing song, we want to allow smaller tooltips for contextual help. It's a bit hard to specify how all apps should behave WRT text size. It's hard not to end up writing "Please don't do things which look ugly or unreadable". :-/ > >> 2 Silver Level > >> 2 Supports the following DBUS / OSSO messages: <list> <example> > > > > What for?? > > I was thinking of examples like the browser should support > notification to load URL.

Ok; then it's going to be conditional, probably optional: "If you want to handle opening of URLs then you need to use this DBus service name". But perhaps this is more developer documentation than an application criteria?
