Maybe I'm wrong, but 1% is wrong, too. Well, now that people are throwing percents at each other, it is a very interesting point as such - does anybody know anything about userbase whose experience GNOME3 is going to improve? I am not ranting/trolling here, I am really interested. Was there any research made? I realize that my references to voting on linux.org.ru cannot be seriously considered - but perhaps someone made serious usability testing or survey, someone could say XX% are not happy, YY% are not happy with GNOME2 (of course, ZZ% do not care at all or not using gnome), the first figure is going to increase with GNOME3 to XY%, the second will drop as low as YX%? That kind of research, if properly made, is usually a conclusive argument for/against any serious visible design changes.
I hope that GNOME3 is not just a leap of faith... Sergey _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
