I was looking through the new features of gnome 2.12 and looking at gnome-about-me and looking to see how it could be used to make the gnome desktop better, and realized that its asking for some information it already knows and isn't asking other basic information...
Basically, the two things its asking me that I don't see a reason for is my email addresses, which Evolution already knows, my instant messenger IDs, which Gaim knows (also it strikes me as a bit odd that gnome-about-me labels the AIM field as AIM/iChat, I've never seen it labeled with iChat before, since iChat is just a program which happens to also support Jabber, so that label is confusing and makes no sense). Another thing that struck me as odd on it is that it doesn't ask me for my name at all! The name is what would actually be useful information. An example of its use would be in gaim to automatically make my alias my name (just an idea, I'm sure you can see its usefulness). -- Adam _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
