In fear of being a thorn, I've made clear what IMO the verbs should be.
I will cease my discussion and yield to whwatever the decision may be.
BUT, I must say that term "available" (as I believe someone
else said) is absolutely critical in the menu lable context.
On another note, which is slightly off topic but I find very
annoying (and exists with other Tails areas) what we would call in the
proprietary world "third party' programs. A more user appealing
experience is to NOT have Nautilus Wipe mentioned at all. As a user,
when I click Help (after Wipe), I only wnat to see the options I can
select explained. I don't care that the program that someone else has
integrated into Tails is called Nautilus Wipe. It only adds an element
of confusion - WTF is "Nautilus Wipe", I just selected Wipe.
Again, in the proprietary world, and what I would suggets in the open
source world, is that the progarm Nautilus Wipe be what we call
"whiteboarded" or "self-branded". In the case of integrating Nautilus
Wipe with Tails (which has been done) a better user experience is to
NOT have any mention Of Nautilus Wipe, which is a title or brand name,
or I don't know what - as it has no trademark indicia.
If the copyright holders of Nautilus Wipe require acknowledment, it
can be done in more more subtle fashion while meeting the legal
requirememts.
Ciao for now. DS.
