This is my opinion, and experience as well. We should first aim at using standards, and when they don't work, we work on improving them upstream. I don't see a problem with using non standard menu categories, as long as the categories we create are things we feel should be universal standards, and that we at least aim at making them standardized upstream. > > If I am to make any changes.

I'll post a link here later. Once we agree on the structure, we can implement it in the source. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
