One way I've found to explain these ideas is to compare with Gmail. We were all (plurality of Open Source developers and projects) concentrating on the web interface to IMAP thing... Google dodged that whole bullet (and all the standards with it) in their platform, and delivered a fantastic experience. We need to be willing to design outside the limitations of standards to get where we want to go for our users (but hopefully deliver them afterward). - Jeff -- Ubuntu Live 2007: Portland, OR, USA http://www.ubuntulive.com/ No clue is good clue. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
