I agree with your suggestion. And, I think that it is also important to imagine focus on use case of Linux desktop/mobile. For example, all the desktops of the company are replaced to Linux thin client, the information about work is operated from the mobile computer, the environment of the desktop is roaming between desktop, laptop, and mobile, etc. Because, the use case reach the keywords. BTW, we are developing Common Desktop Infrastructure. http://www.smg.co.jp/opensource/CommonDesktopInfrastructure/ We are aiming at enterprise system. And, we assume the use case which mentioned above. -- Daisuke Kameda Japan KDE Users' Group: President mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kde.gr.jp/~daisuke/ immodule for Qt Project: Project Maintainer http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fimmodule_2dqt SMG Co., Ltd.: Engineering Creator mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.smg.co.jp/ http://www.smg.co.jp/opensource/CommonDesktopInfrastructure/ _______________________________________________ Desktop_architects mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
