Would it make sense to have an official policy to accept goals proposed on d-d-l after a few days without protests? It seems to me that a lot of goals never took off because they were never officially blessed. Comments on the gnome help goal: We might as well set the screen correctly rather than just pass NULL. The goal might as well suggest to use gtk_widget_get_screen on the window to get the screen. The window is used later in the example anyway. This is the definition of the gnome goals taken from l.g.o/GnomeGoals: "Setting small concrete goals that we should all try to achieve could definitely help with our work in integration and consistency. The goals may vary a lot, don't need to be ambitious, don't need to be about code. But they need to be achievable in a small timeframe. They are the GNOME goals." In light of this I would suggest to narrow the scope of this particular goal to only handle modules using C. This would make it both more concrete and easier to achieve in a small timeframe. Lastly, while on the topic of gnome goals, I hate the ambiguous "to do" status. Currently I am not able to tell if it means that no one has investigated if the module is affected by the goal or if it means that there is work to be done for that module. - thomas _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
