I suggest to form a project which I call CHS (Configuration Hierarchy Standard) having goals similar to FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/) but for configuration.
We should specify semantic and syntax of a value named by a key, e.g. system/ is the namespace for system configuration... filesystems/ ... with purpose, requirements and rationale in an informal way. Configuration systems like elektra, augeas, uniconf but also projects which are in a tree of the hierarchy like kde, gnome and other applications, may contribute and implement this specifications. Any ideas or suggestions? This mailinglist seems to be a good place for a first start. thank you Markus Raab _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
