Question: transitioning towards XDG Base Directory Specification?

["Miriam Ruiz" <little.miry@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I've put a comment in my weblog today about storing game data in
$HOME, and I've received a really interesting comment that I'd like to
discuss here:

"""
It would be really nice if you would use the XDG Base Directory
Specification[1] instead of yet another dotfile directly in $HOME… the
specification is getting more and more common as it gets adopted by
more and more applications and distros.

1. http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html
"""

Do you think we should try to move all our patched games to use this
spec instead of creating more dotfiles directly in $HOME?

Greetings,
Miry
