We are, however, very close to UI freeze. And I'd argue that this constitutes UI changes. I'm particularly afraid of point 3 -- Consider renaming applications that have really poor names -- this late in the release cycle. If you're going to pursue that as a Gnome goal for 2.28, then the people involved need to be willing to do real leg work in analyzing the impact on documentation, marketing materials, etc. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
