Hi,
one thing I always found confusing about Etoile was that it seemed
to "overload" certain terms that already had a meaning in GNUstep...
So, I thought I'd humbly request that we maybe set down a little
terminology dictionary that we try to stick to, to avoid confusion.
In particular, the term "role" recently came up, which, in the
Info.plist, is either "viewer" or "editor" and decides whether a
document of a particular type is imported as an untitled document or
opened for read/write access directly.
I think "Service" was also a term that was sort of used ambiguously.
Could someone (probably Quentin) maybe provide an explanation of what
these terms mean, whether he means them to extend the existing
concepts in GNUstep (and if yes, how)? If they're actually different,
it may help to give them a different name and stick to that.
Otherwise there will be mix-ups that could cause people to do a lot
of work that then has to be thrown away.
