Jon has been doing some fantastic work on Nautilus recently. It was
getting very little - if any - developer attention and he has stepped
up to make dramatic improvements, including addressing long-standing
complaints. I'm really excited about the next
.
Also the repositories we are using
are open and everybody can participate.
Requiring designers to learn git limits the number and type of designers.
I respect and esteem Matthew
Paul Thomas which is the only canonical designer I ever
be a pair of radio buttons, with the second one mentioning X.

get it a cool new Web site, and make a new release with the new name.

I think that's a valid concern, but an annoying solution. I would
rather that any updated API for opening a help page in Gnome had two
compulsory parameters -- one
on the wrong one you can't slide over to the correct
one like you can with a normal menu bar.
It would be really neat if the panel could make these behaviors
consistent.

the standard font size pref (for example) to be set in entirely
