Bart,
Sounds good!
-- Where do I get UI buy-in for packages showing up in
multiple categories? I assume any UI review process
would be driven by the engineers working on PM, so
first should I file an RFE for PM, and get buy-in from
the engineering team? Or is there someplace else I
should start?
-- Looking ahead, if this was approved, do we know how to
set up the meta-data in the packages for multiple
categories? Can the same attribute appear more than once?
The page at [1] lists gui.classification, but not info.classification.
And it doesn't describe the syntax for the value.
Is there an up-to-date spec someplace of the latest and greatest set?
(Like a source file with comments or something like that?)
What does this part of the value mean?
