Dear Felix,
Ahhh wait! It's nice you separated data and configuration, but to be
honest: I really don't want my home directory to be flooded with data I

Hi Felix,
Now I think your idea is not bad at all, because we have a quite nice
folder structure already (Documents, Pictures, Videos and so on). But

Hi,
first, let me tell you I perfectly agree with you that user data should
be easily accessible to users. It's their data after all.
Now I want to shade this a bit for what is usually called PIM data.

I think this idea is extremely valuable and merits robust discussion to
discover ways to encourage application developers to incorporate this
way of approaching data storage.
Thank you, I'm not always as coherent as I'd like when I describe my
ideas and knowing it made sense to you gives me
Hi,
I think it would be important to distinguish between a local cache of a
remote IMAP or CalDAV folder (i.e. Configuration) vs. local mail
folders, calendars, contact lists, etc. (Data).

Dear Ubuntu and Evolution Developers,
I'm sending this email to the gnome evolution hackers list to see what
their thoughts are.
I have noticed a really odd disconnect in gnu/linux with user data
