DesktopX Standards 0.1
Thursday, October 7, 2004 by _Martin_ | Discussion: WinCustomize News
In a drive to make DesktopX easier for both users and devlopers I am in the process of trying to develop some standards for DesktopX.These will only succeed with support and a critical mass of developers using them so I urge you to assist if you think this a a worth while cause.
This first draft details proposed Common User Information, and outlines other plans for the standard. Your feedback is welcome.
You can get the draft document here: www.desktopx.net/standards/DesktopX Standards.pdf
A sample of the Common User Information is here: www.desktopx.net/standards/dxinfo.xml

Thanks for these suggestions - this is all good stuff.
ver is version in 0.2
Not sure about versions for subcategories on the basis that once we hit 1.0 I really don't expect the structure to change.
Check out the samples in 0.2 and you'll see that data is extracted in just this way.
I want to ensure that nothing is optional as this will dilute the standard.
I agree on terminology - this is what we need concensus on.

for the section:
I belive
Working out some good names that lead to less confusion and describe the content is something that I think will be important to make this rock solid.
