In a UDS session this week about this control center issue, one discussed idea was a hard-coded (in source) whitelist or brightlist.
To be clear, a brightlist would be a set of plugins that appear at the top as "part of the OS" and there's some other section where everything else goes. A whitelist would instead just stop anything else from appearing. This way, GNOME designers can enforce a set of plugins that only they want for their OS. Since it's in-source, it would be difficult for random third parties to work around it. But at the same time, other distros that also believe themselves to be creating an OS can distro-patch the list and have the experience they want. Everyone wins, with exceedingly little technical effort. What do the g-c-c maintainers feel about that? -mt _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
