Hey, don't forget the applications. GNOME is more than just an API. You guys make it sound like three-point-oh would be all about the platform things. GNOME still lacks (good and tightly integrated the GNOME way) applications in various day-to-day things like IM. Getting a good set of applications should be a goal for 3.0 (in addition to things like making the platform legacy-free). It's should not be ok to just say "well there's the fifth-toe/third party apps for that" forever. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi
