One thing that could be improved with mails, though, is communication about the design after the iterative process on IRC you describe. Many people would love to have a summary of the rationale of the design. I'm aware this is sometimes (maybe even always) propagated to a wiki page. But people still won't know about the wiki page if there's no announcement about it. (fwiw, I pretty much agree that defining a design on a mailing list doesn't work well) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
