I think that's precisely the heart of the problem: decisions in the GNOME project are made not to hurt community developpers. Sometimes I'm sure the core isn't even looked at and is accepted as a whole. Code needs to be accepted on it merit, not only feature-wise but wrt its quality, integration with the rest of the desktop and testability (i.e. no too big changes in the code at once). Look at Xorg, they asked David to integrate Xgl piece by piece, rejecting unwanted changes. Look at the linux kernel, they often reject ideas without code, and often reject code because it's not good or because it's too big. But they never decide to merge two pieces of code just to please both developpers. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
