For me it is a central idea, because when you feel at ease in such a
platform-independant environment, you are ready for the jump.
I remember a demo of PageMaker, ten years ago, done by a colleage who was
a Mac afficionado, but on a PC : she performed it very easily and
demonstrated very well that the application is one thing, the other is
your prefered platform, and it must not interfere.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another idea would be to build a better classification (structured) of the
RPM files, to facilitate the construction of a 'standardized' cascade of
menus (cf my previous mail, with an interface using the KDE structure
(/opt/kde/share/applnk) to build an independant TCL/TK cascading menu.
Each window manager has its own organisation : it is fine for the freedom
of creation, but quite difficult to dominate for a newbie trying different
wm.
It would be something like the basic standard file structure, for
application presentation.
