I don't think that core apps should be built like external ones, otherwise there'd be no point in making them core. On top of my head, the differences are: - they are shipped with the OS, not separately - they use generic names, not branded ones - they integrated with the OS in ways that stand-alone apps might not be able to (I'm thinking of every "sharing" app we use in the Sharing panel) - they follow the GNOME release process So I don't think the "core apps are models to third-party apps" argument works. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
