[Bug 15495] Re: Archive Manager doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an archive is

2010-08-28 Thread Michael Gilbert
rather than doing anything drastic, how about just providing brief
examples; something like Create an archive (e.g. zip, tar.gz, etc)

this doesn't affect xpdf directly anymore since it uses poppler now.

[Bug 532633] Re: [Master] Window Control buttons: position/order/alignment

2010-04-02 Thread Michael Gilbert
can we at least get some kind of confirmation that it is going to be
easy to switch the buttons back to normal?  gconf is great, but it
really isn't viable for most of ubuntu's users (the point-and-clickers).

also can we get a confirmation that the buttons will continue to look
professional on the right?  currently if you switch them to the right
and fix their order (min,max,close), most themes just look bad since the
button coloring and fading is designed for the expected order when on
the left.

 This is a difference between Ubuntu and several other community
 distributions. It may feel less democratic, but it's more meritocratic,
 and most importantly it means (a) we should have the best people making
 any given decision, and (b) it's worth investing your time to become the
 best person to make certain decisions, because you should have that
 competence recognised and rewarded with the freedom to make hard
 decisions and not get second-guessed all the time.

I must respectfully say that this logic is a bit flawed.  Isn't the best
person to make any decision actually the original (upstream) developer?
And if that's the case then sticking with their defaults should always
be optimal.  If you want to change their code, then you need be very
proactive and persistent to sway their opinions.

However, even bringing the change up with upstream will probably seem
quite rude.  They have already chosen to paint their bikeshed blue, and
you want it purple; but its their bikeshed.  What gives you the
authority to impose your views on their property?  If you really want to
paint their bikeshed, you should really demonstrate to a very good
reason to do so (as yet unseen yet for the button change).  On the
contrary, you have asked the community for data to support upstream non-
divergence, but the correct approach is for you to justify the
divergence to upstream and the community.

On the other hand, if you try, they may happily adopt your viewpoint;
they'll push the change, and it will eventually roll into an Ubuntu
release.

As it stands now, this is the wrong way of going about this change.

Best wishes,
Mike
