That is so true. However I believe there is no harm in pursuing both options right now. Imperfect numbers (that catch a less-than-100-percent proportion of GNOME users) have the redeeming feature of establishing a lower bound on the count, which is better than nothing. Whose toes would we be stepping on if we pushed this "Friends of GNOME" thing? I can not see any objection to it other than it is not ideal for counting GNOME users. So, if I can help in any way (I have (X)HTML/CSS skills and (ver) modest shell/perl/C/C++/java skills) please let me know. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
