[Sugar-devel] question about: Main Karma Package

[Lucian Branescu]

Now that I'm actually looking at the layout, I realise that you MUST
rename chakra.html/karmaplatz.html to index.html.

If you host the karma bundle somewhere on a web server, when you go to
the bundle ROOT path the server will try to serve index.html, because
that's the default. Since it's not there, it will 403.

Furthermore, if a random web developer with no knowledge of karma
looks inside the karma bundle, they will instinctively look for
index.html. Web devs also expect english, so chakra or karmaplatz will
not tell them anything.

]karmaindex.html might be alright for devs, but it still confuses web
servers and there's no reason to deviate from the de-facto standard of
index.html.

Sorry for the rant, but I really believe you're making a mistake by
not naming the file index.html. You may call the interface element
'karma index' if you like, because that's what it is.
