Bug Description
from http://
"Write all configuration settings to ~/.config/
This is of course a legitimate suggestion, but it makes no mention of the other XDG directories ~/.cache and ~/.local, leading application developers to think they must only use ~/.config and are not allowed to use the others. But we should be encouraging developers to put cache files in the proper place, instead of in the config folder.

Adding a task for MyApps for ISD to confirm whether both the ~/.<pkgName> and ~/.config/<pkgName> layouts are supported. If so, it will just be a matter of updating the text on the page.
