I'm happy to see that this discussion has resulted in a draft ballot option based on your earlier work that seems to have broad support. 741573_menu_systems/keithp_draft.txt includes further guidance regarding the technical details of how to map between the menu system and .desktop files. Since this is not on the ballot itself, how do we intend to surface this so that it can be useful to the Policy process? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
