When it was developed, no implementations existed. I remember some talks about adding a description of recommenrded security checks, but I could not make out a clear approach (perhaps it was just me...) so I really hoped to update it after implementation, and to make sure everything including secutrity checks is described as implemented. David and Alexander - could you perhaps send me the particular source files that deal with moving a file to the trash in KDE and Gnome? I'll try to understand how things work. Or even better - if you have the time - could you please compare the implementation to the specs, so that the specs could be updated with the implementation details including security? (This can also be a good time to check if the details happen to diverge in KDE and Gnome). After this "reality check", I'll finish the text and bump to 1.0. Then Bastian could convert the text and host it on freedesktop.org. I don't even need a CVS account, as I don't speak DocBook anyway, Bastian can just check it in after the conversion (although I'd prefer to look at the result as HTML autogenerated from DocBook before that, just for an extra check). -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
