Not at all. All I want is a fair review, based on good technical information and not being name-called or judged on assumptions about my motivations. Not being field-tested is a completely fair criticism, and something I can take away and reuse in a proposal for GNOME 3.4. As both a Canonical employee and Ubuntu developer I can tell you we constantly review all available free software for inclusion. While we do not always agree on every point we agree on a lot more than we disagree. I'm happy to continue to discuss this on another thread or privately if you want to. > Anyway, you are already pissed off, so probably best to stop... My frustrations have certainly boiled over, but I will now resolve those through the appropriate channels. Apologies for the anger. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
