i'd be happy to see this on git.fd.o but i didn't feel like wading through the process of getting that going when it takes 5 minutes to set up an account, a project and a team with commit rights on gitorious. for something that is/was an experiment, i wanted to keep the time investment low and not let the time availability of fd.o sys admins become another blocker. i also would like to make it really, really easy for me (and others) to be able to add contributors to it without waiting on others. indeed, this is all another way of saying "it's too hard to get involved with fd.o in a proper fashion", but that's a different issue. one i really don't feel like taking on right now. :) > Also, I see little point in a > repository that doesn't contain *all* the specifications. agreed; the idea is to put them _all_ in there. just didn't want to go through all that effort if we wanted to do it a bit differently (which would mean changing every spec already put into the repo; something that happened already while gathering feedback) or if it was just outright rejected. > Personally, I'd be interested in maintaining the thumbnailer > specification together with Philip Van Hoof who originally wrote it. that'd be great. if you have a gitorious.org account, i'd be happy to add you to the xdg-specs team and you could have a go at adding the thumbnailer spec to the repository. -- Aaron J.
