Libraries can have About menus.
I didn't think about this.
I guess they can have documentation and a demo, too. Maybe a test suite.
They might have a control of some standard size that con be put on an application about window.
I wonder how much should go in a library.
I don't think there is a hard & fast rule to apply, Dar. Serendipity Library's bookshelf shows six categories of handlers. Could they exist in separate library stacks?...Certainly.
If some of the resources in Serendipity Library were free & open source and others were "pay for view", would I put them in one library?...Obviously not.
Would Serendipity Library look different if it were designed as a library for a specific standalone than a library of generic Transcript handlers & other resources?...Possibly.
As to the About window control, if you are providing a tool for others to use, try to keep it as flexible as possible. I present About info in different ways in different stacks, from the traditional About field + RR logo to moving banner text + logo in the prompt field.
Engage the user at every sensory level possible, sez I. :{`)
On a personal level, Dar, while I don't suggest for a minute that my answers are the best answers for everyone, you will find my answers to many of your questions exemplified somewhere in the files that comprise Serendipity Library. <http://www.oenolog.net/ftp/serendipity_downloader.htm>.
