While I agree it can be useful, it can also be pretty frustrating in terms of turn around to get it approved. Right now, I don't think anyone would benefit from being directly involved in that. Having an awareness would obviously be beneficial still. > Another process that is useful is the ARC (Architecture Review > Committee) process, where we document and review module interfaces. > To meet these requirements, I think what module maintainers could > be expected to do is to be involved with ensuring that any module > documentation (such as manpages or gtk-docs) is reviewed, accurate, > and in good shape.

I think this would be a very worthwhile thing to keep doing, FWIW, though perhaps slimming down the amount of required information to simply just a set of interfaces and a short paragraph about what the component does. Some guidance, particularly from those who have previously gone through ARC would be welcome. Glynn
