Dear Fellow Developers, Should we move to using XDG-standard directories for Yi, or rather stay with current approach of using ~/.yi for everything except for Dyre (which already uses XDG). Depending on consensus I may also make a patch, that will use XDG-style directories, except that it looks for ~/.yi/yi.hs if ~/.config/yi/yi.hs is not found.

May be good idea, since xdg-basedir functions should also work on Windows and Mac. Let me know if there is a consensus about this being good idea :-). -- Best regards Michal -- Yi development mailing list yi-devel@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/yi-devel
