First thx I don’t want force anybody i want offer a something for people want to work together and improve workflow.
The fact is i m newbie with specification and how it’s work. I want to do it well. Maybe i should send a message to several projects in order to federate ideas and best practices ? also make web page to explains goals ? For me it should not only approve software side but also system and «cloud» side. In order to be use correctly with : - easy save/restore - save history of modification (git ?) - publish retrieve from server (*dav things) - use connection/(software) access rules - improve storage (no duplication, will not be a problem when new files systems will be stable) - hook ready (receive/save/delete) And it implies severals others questions (technical but not only), for the moment i show improve search, sort, format version management. I feel alone to do that kind of work. I don’t know if there already existing communities for talk about that ? There is several group but there is a good one ? (linux foundation, here and more ) What do you think ? (Sry for my english again, you can correct me it will improve me) 2018-06-28 19:19 GMT+02:00 Thomas Kluyver <[email protected]>: > Hi Jérôme, > > On Wed, Jun 27, 2018, at 10:11 PM, Jérôme Bardot wrote: >> Like it’s done with ~/.config why not do the same for >> >> ~/.contacts/*.vcf >> ~/.calendars/*ics >> ~/.password-store >> ~/.email >> ~/.rss >> ~/.bookmark >> ~/.torrent >> ~/.xmpp-message (maybe should it be merge with email) > > I think these would currently go in XDG_DATA_HOME, which is ~/.local/share by > default.
