Debian menu entries(was Re: Debian and the desktop)
As a lurker to debian-devel, I would like to point to all a deficiency in the current KDE way of naming menus, and hope that if Debian menu goes this way, it should improve on it. The current way KDE names programs is: Type of Program (Application name) So, for amarok it's: Audio Player (amarok) I find this actually bad, because it's almost a new hierachy in the menu (one that Debian menu actually has, I think). On the other hand, if the Gnome way was used, it would be better, since it makes sense in english: Amarok Audio Player Name of the app + program type. But the position of program type should change acording to the language used. When using KDE in portuguese, it actually becomes correct in syntax, although the parentesis () stops making sense: Leitor de Áudio (amarok) So, my sugestion is, if this is done in Debian menu, the position of the application type is moved before or after the application type, according to the language use and without the use of parethesis: English: Amarok Audio Player Portuguese: Leitor de Áudio Amarok Eduardo P.S.-Could you CC: me any replies?

The 'Where do you want to go today?' phrase came to mind as one phrase that does't quite express Free software because it says nothing about the user but his/her choice to use a piece of software. But 'How do you want to configure it?' shows the idea of the collaborative nature of Free software where user and developer jointly decide the future and work together on it. Cheers, Kev Reply: That expression is really key for Debian's specificity, and kind of software system _and_ community/organization: The question "How do you want to configure it?" is also showing the versatility of Debian, but all that power is controlled by the debian system, simbolized by the fact that it(debian) is literally making a question to the user how does he want to configure it (use it for, ways of using it, etc.) OH MY ... http://www.geocities.com/jobezone/index.html __ Do You Yahoo!?
