i'd say the primary problem is that it is sort of an app cemetery, with no way to improve and tweak them and stuff. i'm hazarding a guess that many of you have several patches to apps long forgotten by their original authors and the like, it is only natural to think it would be great to have central place for these mods. i'm not saying unconditionally import every dockapp on github, but if you (not you personally, carlos, but the general you of the audience) use and care about a dockapp, you could import it, fix it up there and stuff. pros: apps really noone use fade out, apps people use get the bitrot fixed (i highly doubt very system-specific things like acpi monitors and wifi tweakers and whatnot still work 10y later, not even mentioning !linux). cons, can't think of any :) this is said with my "who needs dockapps anyway" hat on, so take this with a grain of salt ;) -- [-] mkdir /nonexistent -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
