Hi everyone, This a request for comments for the GNOME Goals project, which aims at improving desktop consistency, and helping newcommers to get involved in the GNOME community.
We're trying to launch a new GNOME Goal to migrate the about boxes to the GtkAboutBox API that came way back (in GTK 2.6). You can find the proposal here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AboutDialog There are however for the moment a few blocking problems. 1. The way the license is handled ================================== There is an enhancement request for usual licences support in GtkAboutDialog: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336225 We have 3 choices: * Copy/paste the license text in each project in the "license" property * Wait until the API for usual licenses is implemented and use the "license-name" property (volunteers ?) * Use a copy/pasted version, then launch a new Goal when the API is ready (overkill IMHO). 2. The text to use for the website URL ====================================== If an usability guru reads that, should we use as text for the link to the application's project: * the rough URL of the project, * or a text like "XYApp Web Site" ? Please add your comment in replying to this mail, or in the "Comments" section of this GNOME Goal proposal at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AboutDialog Thank you Luis Menina _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
