Minor issue, but really annoying over time. I agree with the sentiment, although I think a one-word limit may be a bit draconian. For example, Ciaran's latest GLEP is titled "Per-Category metadata.xml files". I think that title is perfectly succinct, and I lack the creativity necessary to come up with an equivalent one-word version. -g2boojum- --=20 Grant Goodyear=09 Gentoo Developer g2boojum@gentoo.org http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 --c3bfwLpm8qysLVxt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCMfSnptxxUuD2W3YRAsjbAJ9sVt6hiKikHVc0z6Ya7JFm4d6nOgCfVE1i cc1ct0LLNJphm8M1AQo08Do= =z+zh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --c3bfwLpm8qysLVxt-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
