I agree with this - surely it would be more sensible to have a single effort working on GNOME 2.2 backports (plus XD2 patches if interesting). It could be a continuing project to keep the Debian stable desktop alive and kicking, even beyond 2.2 (2.4 is coming in September, 2.6 another six months after that, etc). Running a completely separate project to create new packages based on Ximian's work (rather than the existing Debian work) doesn't sound sensible at all. I'm sure that if a coordinated project to keep GNOME updated for Debian stable existed, many more people would use stable, and many more people would use GNOME! :-) [ I'm also fairly sure that a few companies and/or goverment agencies could back its development... ] - Jeff -- Get Informed: SCO vs. IBM http://sco.iwethey.org/ Corporate extortionism.
