Hi,

One thing that impressed me about the recent sorcerer implementation was that they had a flat grimoire tree, ie, no sections, the section was defined through a "SECTION" tag in the DEATILS file. The beauty of this sytem was that you can have a spell in multiple sections. For example, gnome-pilot would have "SECTION=mobile,gnome,gnome1-apps,gnome2-apps", abiword would have "SECTION=office,gnome,gnome1-apps" and abiword2 would have "SECTION=office,gnome,gnome2-apps".

This means gaze section office would give abiword, abiword2 etc..., gaze section gnome would give gnome-pilot,abiword,abiword2,etc...

I know this means changes. I don't think the flat tree is a requirement but I think it would be nicer.

This would solve a number of issues in the past.

Open for dicussion.

Duane.

I was thinking about possibly creating a new section for 'office' related spells. The new openoffice spell (if we get it working), has been put in editors, and while swriter may fit in there okay, the whole suite does not. So I was thinking put spells like openoffice, koffice, abiword, gnumeric, gnucash, siag, etc. in there.

Thoughts, comments,

Geoff
