I agree that for the DLs, moving the definitions closer to the terms improves
the situation. I can only assume others haven't expressed an opinion because
they don't really care.
IMO This type of design is best left to the unified vision of one person, or
failing that a small group.
That group would be the ones actively developing QuickBook and
BoostBook participating plus a few more (Dave comes to mind).
Part of my reason for using Quickbook is so that I dont need to worry about it
;-)
Sure. We are just making sure that through consensus, we are not
being dictatorial and change things behind your back without
prior discussion. For some (me included), this is holy ground :)
I am finding the time spent on UI design minutiae interesting, in my capacity as
a researcher on a C++ standard GUI. There are quite good parallels between one
approach to GUI design and using Quickbook . In Quickbook I am provided with a
relatively small set of UI entities. Section, Table etc that still give me a lot
of expressive power. Its not really my buiness to reason about exactly how the
entities will be rendered so long as they fulfill minimal expectations.
Similarly a C++ GUI should consist in a small set of UI entities with some
minimally defined behaviour beyond which I shouldnt reason about them. I think
that could be the basis of my C++ GUI standardisation proposal ;-)
Nice!
