Right, IMO the office suite really should be formed as more concrete thing as this list: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOffice but since I'm not about to do the work... > would contain stuff for > office clerks, like word processing and such.

I do need to read (sometimes even write) word files and excel sheets pretty regurarly although I don't consider myself to be an "office clerk". > Time tracking has much broader use. It's useful for any professional: Yes, indeed for professionals. And professionals do need the other office stuff too so it would be natural addition to there. I'm not arguing that time tracking is *not* suited for desktop, I'm just saying it probably would be a *better* match in the office suite (which, as you point out, is a bit loose definition currently). You can't really expand the desktop module set forever, so tighter categorizing is needed IMO. -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
