Indeed, if there is not a critical mass, and if "Other" itself is not crowded, it can make sense to have it there. > I don't think it is advisable to require installing a customised > distribution just for a particular task. Do not worry, I just wanted to make sure that you are aware of all the possibilities. Since we have the same problem in Debian-Med, I suggest that we join our forces to negociate with XDG. In my opinion, we would be more sucessful if we already had things in a proper shape in Debian, so that we can say that our claim is not just a wish, but refers to something real. We could also try to discuss with other major players that are popular among scientists: Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo for instance, and bring up the issue with some kind of official support of working groups that can be weighted by their achievements. Shall I open a wiki page to start the coordination of this ?
