Hi all,

Despite the idea that Pau suggested of not letting "non-compliant fd.o" 
application getting into our project repositories can be good and positive 
for the projects themselves, I wanted to point out some spots on his mail.

I'm that KUIServer developer, and yes, despite I haven't had feedback lately 
from the Mathusalem developer, I have had it from the Gnome community, what 
is at last point, good for everybody (there are threads in this mailing list 
about our discussions).

I wanted to clarify that in this certain case we haven't got a spec tied to 
KDE or Qt, since this spec only contains a D-Bus interface, and is 
platform-generic, as you know if you have read the spec proposal mail from 
me.

I would let non compliant applications/libraries get in our repositories, but 
on certain places where they can be improved: branches, playground... but 
certainly not on the "official" repository, as Pau said. That means, not 
being part of the official release of the desktop itself, in any module.

Rafael Fernández López.
