The great "Yelp Patch Cleanup"

[Don Scorgie <DonScorgie Blueyonder co uk>]

Hey,

As part of the ever-ongoing "Great Bugzilla Cleanup" for Yelp, I've been
looking at the patches that are currently sitting there.  This email is
to try and get a consensus on some of them (and hopefully get at least a
few applied)

So, in no particular order, the big patches are:

*Notes support for info pages (bug #343524) [1]
*Notes are supposed to act like hyperlinks for info files.  The patch
makes them into actual hyperlinks.  Works for me.  I'd like to see
committed.

Translated man pages (bug #343275) [2]
Don't really know the man page stuff, but looks good from the screenies
smitten showed a bit ago.

New look TOC (bug #337584) [3]
I'd definitely like to see a new look TOC added.  Patch needs a bit of
work though and the categories would really need re-thunk

DBUS activation (bug #337540) [4]
Kill Bonobo activation in favour of DBUS.  Seems to be the way the wind
is swaying.  chpe thinks this may not be the best idea (after epiphany
switched to dbus activation).  It would allow (in future) us to provide
dbus signals for other applications to load help files and do our part
for the die-libgnome-die campaign

Section auto-expanding (bug #167070) [5]
The list of sections on the left.  Should it auto-expand?  Been brought
up several times on usability list, resulting in the consensus: "Up to
you.".  Personally, I think the patch should be applied.  It feels
somewhat more natural to use.

Recently Viewed List (bug #67966) [6]
Adds deep histories allowing people to skip back > 1 page at a time.
smitten thinks it needs more work to add little icons to each entry
showing the type of file.  At the moment (IIRC) it uses the title from
the window.  Probably not the best idea, but...

There we go.  That's the big patches (or at least the ones I'd like to
see closed).  So, any comments on any of the above (or any other patch
in bugzilla)?

Don
