Not to promote, but Linux Plumbers Conference is exactly about solving this
kind of stuff. If someone was willing to write a paper about PackageKit or
something like that would be really good so that we can highlight this
problem. Then we can work on it together to move Linux forward. Does that

Dave:
I am against any Linux ISD (including ourselves) trying to provide a
one-size-fits-all installer, until a packaging system that allows that
comes along. I have high hopes for PackageKit, but in the meantime, your
goal should not be to give people installers, but to document installing

So maybe a modification is to create our own product page for each

news.gnome.org got some really nice project blogs, so lets add some more!
A couple of nice feeds I can think of from the top of my head:
* Banshee - http://banshee-project.org/blog/
* Inkscape -
Here are some apps I personally find cool, with my personal comments below.
I apologize, I don't have time to see if they have feeds while I'm at this
docs conference. I did check the news.gnome.org feed, and didn't see them.
Maybe they can be convinced to start one. :)
