That isn't a contest.

Can we please It is a survey. It is NOT about 'winning'. > just all move on? Further, your explanation is incomplete. As you said, the graph is about people knowing two DVCS systems. I wouldn't say I knew 2. Those 6 are incomplete. Now before you reply: we have a clear need for git to work (ranked 1st 50% of the time, etc). But if you say "move on", how do you think a switch is made? Magic? Anyway, I'd rather add John Carr to the sysadmin team. I plan to make a proposal to switch GNOME to a DVCS where Git works using Johns suggestion. Then other sysadmins[1] can suggest whatever proposal they want. These proposals can be investigated on merit and then a one can be chosen (chosen as in: "go ahead and try if this would work", not "go ahead blindly"; everything must be tested before a cutover). [1] or whomever. Although I don't see how that would work. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
