There is just too much noise when we do that. You need to put in a bug and discuss it within the context of bugzilla. Discussing it here will unlikely get you anywhere. > Don't get me wrong, I have good wishes for the Gnome project.

You'll notice the any number of threads that we have talked about features and bugs that go unanswered. Devs only have a limited time to peruse these threads, but they do look at bugzilla. Case in point, I have several bugs that I put in for multi-monitor features/bugs. They were all worked on by Alex, all properly discussed with history. It can be done. Just remember that in a Free Software project things go at a certain pace and you need to go through the proper channels. Most discussions on this mailing list is between users/app developers/etc. As for extensions and what not.. it's a bit challenging right now, but you don't need to be technical to make a case for a feature or bug. Make the case in bugzilla and with some data to back it up and possibly someone will take an interest and try to implement it. sri > Sorry for the disruption of the thread, and best wishes to all. > > > it's not a disruption if it turns into a learning opportunity. sri > -- > Diego Fernandez - 爱国 > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list >
