I've only skimmed over your proposal so far. btw I didn't see a description of |
| 5 |
how you'll actually make all the WMs aware of the menu. Do you want to |
| 6 |
autogenerate, from the central menu tree, a custom-format menu tree for every |
| 7 |
installed WM? |

Anyway, what about the freedesktop.org standard for .desktop files? It has |
| 10 |
some very nice features such as multiple categories per item, |
| 11 |
multilpe-language descriptions, etc. More importantly, both kde and gnome |
| 12 |
will use that standard in their next releases (maybe gnome already does, not |
| 13 |
sure). So why don't we build on top of that? Other people in other distros, |
| 14 |
as well as the developers of various packages and of WMs other than kde and |
| 15 |
gnome, will surely be adding support for it in the future. Why do we want yet |
| 16 |
another custom system? How is it better than what freedesktop.org has (with |
| 17 |
perhaps portage-centric tools written to make things easier)? |
