I have one modification to suggest: On Tuesday 10 May 2011 07:33:29 am Matthew Miller wrote: > On Mon, May 09, 2011 at 11:15:58PM -0400, Jeff Licquia wrote: > > "See also the XDG Base Directory specification (ref), which sets a > > number of conventions intended to organize users' home directories. > > The XDG Base Directory specification is recommended, but not > > mandated." Rather than: "intended to organize users' home directories" I'd suggest it say: "intended to organize user's files" or "intended to organize user specific files" This is because the XDG Base Specification does not (and should not, imho) specify that the files be in any of /home, $HOME, or ~. > +1 > > > I believe most programs rely on either $HOME or ~, rather than the > > specific location of /home.

If I don't hear any more comments, or no negative comments in the next few days, I'll create a bug, or add this to bug 762. I'm leaning toward a separate bug as 762 is very general: Bug 762 - Summary: reconcile with freedesktop specs http://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762 Thanks again for all your help!
