Bleh, I hate mailing here ... so here goes nothing[1] Only for people who are interested in the implementation and design of what we are going to be calling "dconf".
Note that this design isn't the final decision. This is a proposed design that is under heavy discussion during meetings that will take place these months and weeks. I decided not to repeat myself here. As most people here know I even decided not to do discussions about 'dconf' here anymore. Simply because most of you guys are just here for flaming and being destructive. And I know I'm being rude: Yet, and everybody knows it's the truth. So I kindly invite the "interested/interesting" people to our mailing list. http://www.x-tend.be/mailman/listinfo/dconf-list We are talking/communicating with the UniConf people and investigating what we can achieve with working together. So we are not (well, not yet) trying to compete. First read this e-mail which describes the different components http://www.x-tend.be/pipermail/dconf-list/2005-July/000070.html And then this e-mail which more or less describes a little bit why that specific design was chosen http://www.x-tend.be/pipermail/dconf-list/2005-July/000072.html I've put online a drawing so that you can get a visual idea of the described components while you're reading those e-mails. http://www.pvanhoof.be/dconf_detail.png http://www.pvanhoof.be/dconf_detail.svg Note that this drawing might or might not be removed and/or updated in time/future. You can also read the archives of our mailing list online here: http://www.x-tend.be/pipermail/dconf-list/ We'll advertise meetings on that mailing list. Everybody who promises to be constructive (not destructive) is hereby invited to both the mailing list and the meetings. We are NOT interested in your opinion (at all) if you're planning to be destructive. In reality you will just waste your reputation if you plan to start flaming us or about the concept/idea. Please don't reply to this E-mail, use our mailing list. I don't want yet another flame war about dconf here. We don't need it. And we aren't interested in what comes out of such a flame war. Also note that in the event that you do have something interesting to add, you should append it to this wiki page: http://pvanhoof.be/wiki/index.php/Temporary_location_for_D-Conf_specs [1] We will probably stop using xdg for announcements like this. I just noticed that a lot people aren't informed about what we are doing at this moment (and where to find us). -- Philip Van Hoof, Software Developer @ X-Tend home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org work: vanhoof at x-tend.be http://www.pvanhoof.be/ _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
