If we're going to support Kubuntu, then we would also need to support Xubuntu and Lubuntu, and by focusing only on Ubuntu, we can target more bugs there than we would be able to had we split ourselves over multiple desktops. > no locale bugs isn't that what caused the project to die off in the first > place no bugs for people work on? The restrictions that caused the project to die off the first time round were different from these ones. Back then, it was a lot of bugs being rejected as 'feature requests' or 'not affecting the average user', and the biggest one was 'just a normal bug instead of a usability flaw'. It's that last one that I think we've loosened up on which is allowing us to target more bugs. > We are still yet to have targeted 100 for this release (we are almost > there but not yet) if anything we should be removing limitations and > widening the project that way we also widen the range of potential > contributers to the project. I know, and I realise I've lost track of that over the past month. I'm going to get onto this now and start asking people to send us their paper cuts. I've also got a few ideas to make it easier to find existing paper cuts in the current bug database. Over the next day or two I'll put together some wiki pages for them so a discussion can begin. I appreciate your concern over the restrictions and the possible implication they could have, but I feel we're only going to loose a handful of potential paper cuts from these, while gaining many more by lightening the definition in other areas. I really appreciate you sticking about with the project for so long, through its ups and downs, as well as all the work you've put into fixing the paper cuts, and I hope you'll stick about into the future. Thanks, Chris
