Sinzui

Too many discussions have gotten out of hand on a couple of the GNOME lists I subscribe too. I think the arguments could be completed in fewer exchanges if each correspondent could send a code that indicated their position on the hot issues in GNOME. For instance we could save time arguing about spacial vs. hierarchical desktops if each person also state their feelings about desktop=home and just-works vs. configurability. We could have a code like geek code + for, – against, 0 for no position.

1. spacial desktop {+}
2. desktop is home {+}
3. configurability {-}
4. file open dialog {-}
5. notification applet instead of window list {-}
6. close last window quits app {-}
7. desklets {-}
8. copy window make GNOME usable {-}
9. users love splash screens {-}

I've scraped a lot of addresses, lists, and channels off the gnome.org sites. Too much for the contact page. I need to better define it's scope to limit the content so I can settle on how best to present it. We may want to break the contact page into one for users and another for developers. I think we should also include http://www.gnomesupport.org/ since it has a lot of feature users need that are not provided by gnome.org.

I made some small, but import changes to the Medusa GUI app I'm making. The sidebar is near complete. I'll swipe the file list from gnome-search-tool in a few days. After that, I'll create a rules editor like g-s-t and Evolution has to explore another UI option.
