Err...I beg to differ....GNOME has pretty rigorous Human Interface Guidelines. KDE has made HIG more of a focus in the last year. Freedesktop.org focus' on interoperability. Accessibility, interoperability, and things like i10n/l10n are rarely forefront on a developers minds when they want to scratch a particular itch. Yet there are a lot of developers working on such things. (I think accessibility was left out of that whole "colonization" discussion, but I digress....) Its time we stop perpetuating this myth that Open Source/Linux/Free Software/whatever developers only care about their "own requirements". dan -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
