[HIG] Re: [Usability]No HIG maintainer?

[Havoc Pennington <hp redhat com>]

Hi,

Just a note on maintenance: even more so than code modules, the HIG
needs to change very slowly and deliberately. For example, once we put
in "groups are labeled in bold with no frame and 12 pixel indent" if
you turn around and change that anytime in the next several *years*,
at least once people have started implementing, it is going to be
annoying as hell (and strongly discourage people from supporting the
HIG in future libraries/apps).

So get it right, and don't be overeager to put in changes. ;-)
