What applications get shipped by default is a distro decision, not a GNOME decision. I'm not really sure you fully understand what GNOME is.

GNOME is a collection of applications, not a specific app, so this concern is pretty much address by what GNOME is. I think that most of your concerns come from a lack of understanding as to what GNOME is. GNOME is not an application, GNOME is a collection of many applications. -- -- Alex Launi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GNOME Do" group.
