I fail to see what makes the XO case different from the rest of the software world - from the pages you link - We need to identify feature vs bugfix revisions, which is something that versioning can do - Keep track of whether we are opening an existing document with a different program version, in that case, perhaps deal with "capabilities" - this is orthogonal to versioning, and similar to the "provides" field in deb packages. - If network interop between differing versions of tools is an issue, we could recommend an on-the-wire preamble where versions and optionally capabilities are exchanged, giving peers the opportunity to refuse to interact. Orthogonal to version numbers, however. These are well understood issues. Yes, we can write use cases, and argue the business case, and define a procedure around it. So as soon as we get our shipment of infinite time and resources, I _promise_ I'll get on to it. In the meantime, a simply obvious solution that meets our needs is standing in front of us, glowing warmly . grab it martin -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
