Hello folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm wondering about the current menu structure for the GIS
applications. They are all mixed up. I felt very comfortable
with a Geospatial main menu and sub entries for Desktop GIS,
Servers, etc. Right now (5.0 beta1) it would be very confusing
for Starters to find intuitive the applications they like to
try, some apps are added to Science, some to Education, and all
other in Others. Some project application launchers are added
twice.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not very familiar withe the xubuntu desktop
configuration, the install script install_desctop.sh seems to
do, what I would expect. Maybe it's missing something to add
Categories in /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu or something like
that. Any xubuntu Guru out there?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What do you think about the two enhancement tasks:</div>
<div>1. update menu structure to something like this:</div>
<div> Applications --> OSGeo Live --> Servers</div>
<div> -->
Desktop GIS</div>
<div> --> ..
some more categories (like on the live 4.5 version)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. create global replacements for the sphinx docs in conf.py,
that every project can use within the rst files, for example</div>
<div> .. |GS_START_MENU_PATH| replace:: `Geospatial -->
server --> start GeoServer`</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any suggestions?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers, Frank</div>
