| #language en = Whacky Ideas For New Policies = This is an ideas pool for future policies that are not currently implemented. These ideas are not currently implemented and are not part of official Debian policy. == Proposed Error Documentation Policy == ==== Documentation of Causes and Resolutions ==== This policy would create a requirement for any error messages produced by an application to be documented together with causes and resolutions where possible. ==== Maintaining a comprehensive list of error messages ==== Under this policy, documentation relating to all error messages would be available, and a complete alphanumerical list of error messages would be maintained in a centralized location. == Proposed Colour freedom policy == Under this policy the colour of any graphically displayed system component could be changed by the user. == Proposed etc directory policy == Under this policy the /etc directory would contain only human readable files in standard configuration file format, and symlinks to binary files would be relocated. == Proposed Hyphen switch policy == Under this policy a single hyphen presented as a command line argument is treated as an end of switches marker, allowing all subsequent arguments to be treated as parameter data. == Proposed Package building policy == == Proposed Source existence policy == == Note == '''Before you put your random idea here''', make sure that : * You are actually willing to '''do the work __your self__''', to get your idea through. Do you have spare time ? (search for the word "proposal" in Debian mailing lists). * The Policy can actually be enforced at Debian level. (Debian isn't just going to ''ask'' the whole open source community to do something according to Debian's policy). |
