I compared the proposal to Apples Filesystem Hierarchy and found it to be
very similar. I like that. Since I had nothing to criticize I did not
reply. Hence my silence.

Subject: Proposal question.
Hey all.
I've sent two versions of my GNUstep Filesystem Hierarchy proposal to
the mailing list here, and haven't received very much feedback. This
leads me to one of two conclusions:
1. no one is interested in utilising this proposal
2. it's so long, people are still trying to get to the end of it.
My reasons for submitting this proposal are many and varied. Along with
the need for standardisation, one of the reasons most important to me,
in particular, is the need to integrate GNUstep into LinuxSTEP.
So, therefore, I have these questions:
a. Is anyone interested in seeing this proposal used?
b. If yes, what problems do you see that would need to be addressed?
c. If no, would anyone be terribly offended if a patch was created that
the LinuxSTEP base team could apply to a release of GNUstep for
integration into LinuxSTEP?
d. Is there an official release planned soon, so that the LinuxSTEP
base team can use that as a baseline (as the CVS code tends to change at
a moment's notice, effectively forcing applications to be recompiled)?
I really don't wish to force LinuxSTEP users to have to reinstall their
applications every time there's a new release of GNUstep. That would be
significantly detrimental to the acceptance of a new system. Especially
one that's based on the GNUstep environment.
<shameless call for help>
Also, we're in dire need of a few more developers to help with getting
LinuxSTEP further along. If you're interested, please contact either
myself (tim@linuxstep.org), Eric Sammer (eric@linuxstep.org), or join
the LinuxSTEP-general mailing list
(http://lists.linuxstep.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxstep-general).
