Well, GNOME does have a reputation for giving people a rather frosty reception on IRC, in Bugzilla and on mailing lists. Perhaps it's worth some introspection to ask where that reputation comes from? It didn't materialise out of thin air. >> perceived as "Ubuntu users can't contribute to GNOME". > > I never said anything like that.

And certainly the way you said it led a number of people to understand that was what you meant - that you were advising people that if they want to develop for GNOME 3, they should use a distribution other than Ubuntu. Surely you can see how this perception can come about? And how it could be taken rather badly? > Some stuff is really too political. E.g.

There's a difference in scale.
