This is rarely a reason we justify feature additions (I have no idea which
feature you're working on).

In general, for both this issue and most other questions you've been asking
on chromium-dev, you should try to get an answer first on
irc.freenode.net#chromium, since that should get you faster responses,
and fall back to
email if no one replies there.

2009-07-08 Thread Thiago Farina

I think it's good maintain the things simple, and I agree that all UI
changes needs to be approved before starting code. Because I didn't
know about that I started writting the patch without the approval. I
think this feature is a good addition to chrome, because the firefox
has this feature, many users from firefox will want this too in
chrome.

 I am part of that team - the point was that UI changes should
 generally be run past the UI folk before work begins to avoid people
 doing work that is later rejected or that needs redesigning. That
 group of people is b...@chromium.org, g...@chromium.org,
 brakow...@chromium.org and nickb...@chromium.org - I am sending your
 screenshot from that patch to them to discuss.

 Typically we're pretty conservative when it comes to adding things.

I have no idea what feature you're working on, but as a general statement:
there are many parts of Firefox that we don't necessarily want in Chromium.
 The home button is one of them (though I guess we grudgingly added it as an
option).  :-)

I'd also note that chromium-dev is the best place to send pretty much
everything.  Even UI change questions can probably come here, though it
helps to cc the specific people Glen mentioned.

I meant to add that we're trying to make extensions a rich enough platform
that most of these features can be added that wayit's just that we want
to keep the base feature set and UI very clean, simple, and polished.
