Hi,
has there ever been a discussion about the FreeDesktop Spec for
configuration files. FYI, the spec says to put config files not into the
home folder directly but instead proposes there separate directories:
XDG_DATA_HOME: ~/.local/share
XDG_CONFIG_HOME: ~/.config
XDG_CACHE_HOME: ~/.cache
There are also a couple of ubuntu brainstorm entries:
* Ubuntu Brainstorm

http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6557/ (duplicate)
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9343/ (duplicate)
As well as a bunch of other resources:
* The GNOME Goal proposal:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/XDGConfigFolders
* Tracker Bug for the proposed GNOME Goal:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523057
* A blog entry about the XDG Spec:

http://ploum.frimouvy.org/?207-modify-your-application-to-use-xdg-folders (more
detailed)
* The _official_ FreeDesktop specification

* Thoughs of other people

I just wanted to bring this up, if there has already been a discussion
about this, maybe someone can point me to it or let me know about the
current status about this issue.
Cheers
Sebastian
