My plan is to simply create an application registry, and then leave it up to |
| 23 |
the Gentoo GNOME/KDE maintainers to tap into this information and integrate |
| 24 |
these programs into the proper menus. I want to make the system as generic and |
| 25 |
as flexible as possible so that we don't have to settle for a "Debian" menu. |
