Something is missing to me. Before creating a specification, we should have a process to ask for feedback and requirements from different desktop, so everyone is on the same page before. This is almost taken care if we want to take a freedesktop namespace, but not for general specification. In my opinion this should be a recommanded good practice. sending an email to xdg mailing list with the intentent, and then the point of contact of each desktop make sure the right person and give feedback. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
