There are many different sources of information we can use. We started by discussing passive information, such as popcon stats, ntp and web stats, etc. Having an active source will be very useful information though, even if as stat-cynics we don't think it will be ULTIMATELY AND COMPLETELY ACCURATE. I know I'm repeating myself, but here's what I think the only really useful and sane strategy is: Put a link in the About GNOME box to a "stand up and be counted" web page on wgo. Simple, effective, and you don't even have to find the feature in your desktop (because it will be exposed on the site too). - Jeff -- GNOME Summit 2005: October 8th-10th http://live.gnome.org/Boston2005 "So between a jazz musician, a murderer, and a congressperson, all called 'Dave Camp', I have a lot of pressure to be evil." - GNOME's Dave Camp _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
