I'd like to see some separation between tools that a casual user could find interesting (for example extension of format previews for the file manager / archive management / disk space graphical visualisation) and what a power user would consider as tools (for example xterm / extension to the collection of command line utiilities provided by busybox). So, for example, wget would end up in the latter category, while a graphical UI for wget or a graphical ftp would end up in the former. -- Cheers, Igor Igor Stoppa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Nokia Multimedia - CP - OSSO / Helsinki, Finland) _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
