*Exactly* - and it's so easy to fall to laziness in the face of all the challenges Dan so eloquently explained in his email... and that's what has been happening in GNOME for a long time now. Let's break the cycle! While the Linux process has its warts, there are two things it is great at that we should mention here: First, a fairly easy to understand technical and social leadership - decisions get made. Second, a pretty uncompromising approach to design in the community - it's really hard to drop a pre-cooked hairball (cat hair *or* angel hair) into the kernel process without getting roasted, spanked and harshly reviewed. - Jeff -- FISL 7.0: Porto Alegre, Brazil http://fisl.softwarelivre.org/7.0/www/ "It's not sufficient to 'use simple words to explain things'. Things must actually *be* simple, which is much harder." - Martin Pool _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
