Trying to keep the dependencies issue out of it for a moment, here are some more thoughts, assuming that we are talking about replacing Sticky Notes with Tomboy.
1. Can we rename Tomboy to Sticky Notes, or at least change the tooltip to "Notes" rather than "Tomboy Notes", so it is more meaninful to people who are not in the know? 2. Most enthusiastic Tomboy users have made a conscious decision to start using it, but most users are going to perceive this as "Sticky Notes changed hugely, sometimes in arbitrary unnecessary ways, and it has lost my notes. GNOME hates me. I'm going to slam them on Slashdot every day for weeks.". So that they perceive it as "Stick Notes now has formatting and links, and a toolbar for that. Cool.", can we at least remove the arbitrary differences, such as: 2.1: Make it look the same: The same colors and window styles? 2.2: Make it sticky (stays on top of windows). 2.3: Try to make the menus the same (though I agree that a left-click menu is nice to have for a list of notes.) 2.4: Import their existing notes, when first starting, to help people who upgrade their distros (hence upgrading their GNOME version.) 3. It's probably because I haven't used it much, but I have a slight fear that linking might not be a feature that most people would use much, and that it might overcomplicate things. Then again, it doesn't seem to get in the way if you don't use it. At least for the release notes, it would be nice to have some example use cases of what a non-techy person would use it for. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
