Regardless of the definition, on my first searches I got pissed off several times because I couldn't find genlist under containers section. And I looked for it there without think about it, that was just where I expected it to be. That said, I think that making the documentation easier for the user of the library is the more important thing to do. A simple reminder in the beginning of the description of the widget would probably be enough to tell the user that genlist is not a real container (and I don't think that the user would even care about it). Just my 2 cents. -- Rafael Antognolli ProFUSION embedded systems http://profusion.mobi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
