I would say "some GNOME developers" or "many GNOME developers". [1] I know that 'guh-nome' is the proper pronunciation, and I will tell people so if asked directly. But I just can't bring myself to say it that way. Maybe we should just eschew all traditional pronunciations and start pronouncing GNOME as "Love". [1] Actually, I would say "some Gnome developers", if my oration skills somehow allowed me to convey the capitalization. :) -- Shaun _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
