Are these meant to say *does*?
Indeed, good catch. I've updated the wiki and added a note about "encrypted root" partitions to point#14. Feedback welcome!
Does the "All applications" in #19 refer to only .desktop applications like #18? And are both of these referring to the Desktop LiveCD, or what you get when you accept the defaults in Anaconda, or what you get when you install Everything?
Good points. My $0.02. I'd suggest we narrow the focus to all applications accessible from the menu for the LiveCD or default install. Would I like to see this expand, definitely. I don't want to bite off more than we can chew.
What I think would be pretty nice here is a link to some "graphical application standards" documentation. Something that testers could reference when validating this requirement and filing defects.
mclasen: Do you know if such a document or guideline exists on freedesktop.org or in the desktop space? I'm not seeing anything jump out at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications.
This page also includes the criterion:
"20. Menus sanity: All items have icons"
When I filed this bug against Fedora 12:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531180
Matthias Clasen said this applies only to "applications". It's unclear to me why (last time I checked) Help doesn't have an icon, but other system-y programs do. I'm also not sure where or why the decision was made to suppress icons for submenus (doesn't look as nice to me, but perhaps it helps distinguish programs from submenus) but clearly whatever policy exists needs to be harmonized with the release criteria.
Agreed. If there is a document to reference here ... I'd love to make that link more obvious. The bug you filed above helped to highlight an intended change where we need to go back and adjust the requirements.
I've adjusted this bullet to refer to all menu items under the ''Applications'' menu. What about ''Places''?
Thanks, James
