Dia *is* a Gnome project: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia. Of course it can be taken out of Gnome, however that is a social process. All distros are basing their packaging on Dia from Gnome AFAIK. Also, I don't see Gnome forcing Dia to do whatever. I'd think that "the one who does the work is the one who decides" applies just as well to Gnome as a project as to Open Source in general - but that's just a guess. *t _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list dia-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
