Come on, nothing? This is important. This is the sort of real software engineering discussion we'd be having if we weren't all busy talking with language wars. Having a cool application is no sufficient for inclusion in the desktop. We require stuff like working within our release cycle, working with our translators, and working with our documentation team. Tomboy has no documentation that I know of. Orca will require a *LOT* of documentation updates and additions in the Accessibility Guide and other places. Alacarte will involve changes to the User Guide. In at least two of these cases, I can't even begin to coordinate documentation efforts until I know how we plan to integrate the programs and migrate the users. I will not endorse a module that isn't cooperating with the documentation team, no matter how much I happen to like the program. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
