Hello, I'm thinking about advantages and disadvantages of write the description of the packages using XML. I think using XML the descriptions can be rendered in different form for text and graphical tools. The URL of the descriptions can be real links and, even and the project thinks it is appropiate, links to the logos, and perhaps sponsors, of the project when description is showed in graphical mode. Besides, I think will be more easy to develop a tool that manage XML for manage descriptions and their translations than plain text with its special details. And, of course, we will not format the descriptions using spaces.
As disadvantage, we will need to develop a robot that do format for the current descriptions and translations and we will have to review all of them. Ciertainly, this will be an huge job. However, I think the current scheme of descriptions is very limitied and is better to do it earlier than translate more descriptions and then move all to a new format in the future. Is there any earlier discussion about this? I sent this to i18n, but I had not reponse. Regrets. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
