We can give you a gnome-affiliated URI I would think. Either way,
maintaining a "living document" reflecting the state of the discussion
is hugely helpful.

I would think we should analyze open/save as separate tasks, and that
GTK should allow different dialogs for those. If nothing else since we
need it to emulate the Mac dialog. But also because I would guess it's
the right UI. Analyzing them separately should let us check whether a
given UI works well for both or not.
