According to what I'm reading in those links, I'd say it's not ready yet. No configuration migration plus no graphical configuration? I mean, configuration migration is *most* important on the first release. We have a six-month release cycle for a reason. Let's wait. In six months, we can make a release that makes people say "Wow", instead of releasing now and making people say "WTF". -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
