Perhaps youc ould have phrased it a bit better the first time :) It -did- feel a bit like an attack. I don't know about the others, but my suggestions were meant to be taken more in the sense of "If you're working on this area and wondering what people are wanting ...". I know as a developer (and I've worked on bunches of open-source projects it's often hard to know what the lusers want because once I've been developing I know the program so well it's oozing out my ears! > Also, perhaps it would be better to forward such suggestions to > debian-devel or another list like that... It might well be, and if somebody who's a deb developer had suggested it then I would have, but nobody did. Is there a "suggestion box" anywhere? Should there be? bekj -- : --Hacker-Neophile-Eclectic-Geek-Grrl-Gay-Disabled-Boychick-- : [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tertius.net.au/~gossamer/ : Programming today is a race between software engineers striving : to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the : Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
