I reckon "Downloads" is mundane. So descriptive that everybody understands it. ;) "Surrounds" is indeed poetic but I don't believe it "clearly says" anything to most of us here, leave alone people seeing the project from the outside. About people downloading apps, music, videos, etc... the only thing we know for sure they download are... Downloads. Let me insist on "Downloads", then. :) > >>> * Isn't this covered in the MeeGo 'Core' project structure? >> At least I don't see it.

My only 'worry' was that the 2 types of surround > (individual applications and 'universe') would be split apart. Why split apart? The Downloads team is responsible of the QA and distribution of any downloads distributed from meego.com not comprised in the official release, including dependencies. It was good to have Mike's feedback. Now, can we have at least Bob's feedback? What is the current status and how to help and continue the work? -- Quim Gil open source advocate MeeGo Devices @ Nokia _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
