[and another here] Perhaps one of the aspects of this thread would be to look beyond the metaphor for the desktop and more into the metaphor as one that extends the workspace area (without calling it a desktop) into the space and context of personal computing and social collaboration. Apple might have got it wrong to use iTunes and iPod to push their desktops (I don't know since I don't have the stats) but using non-desktop metaphors to a GNOME platform might not be utopian as on date. :Sankarshan -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
