I don't mean to imply active or not, and I'm glad to hear it's changing. I think having some of those non-desktop projects on equal footing within GNOME alongside the desktop release would make a big difference. _Especially_ if each subproject is defined by its target audience and benefit, rather than by its codebase. I thought of a more concrete approach to understanding what this means. Question for the list, what is the target audience and benefit to them of the desktop release? Current: - historical UNIX workstation users who want something similar but not dead - technology fans who want a set of apps they can mess with and heavily customize - thin client / computer lab deployments who want something with good manageability / security and low cost (the low cost especially for government/edu) - server administrators who want to pack a lot of ssh sessions onto the screen, use some web-based admin consoles, and occasionally waste some time doing non-work stuff - ... Future: - ... ?
