Hi, Decisions aren't really made on the list. The real voting mechanism is code. All the interoperability specs or shared libraries that have some adoption exist because there was interest in implementing more than one implementation. Sometimes one person went around implementing more than once in various desktops, sometimes two or three people decided to each do an implementation. But in the end you only need two or three people to agree with you enough to do some coding. There's not a need to convince an entire mailing list. The mailing list is just a place for discussion.
The people who agree with you do have to include maintainers of any relevant code modules, of course, but usually that's just a couple of people. Havoc _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
