We've had extensive discussions about it on this list. Python is the only one that almost nobody objects to, and a lot of people would prefer us not to use too many programming languages in the official Desktop modules. But luckily, not everything needs to be in the Desktop. I certainly wouldn't want to add the political, technical, and strategic baggage for just a note taking utility. [snip] If I was writing something that I intended to become part of the GNOME Desktop, I'd do it in C or Python. Maybe C++ (already used, without gtkmm), but I'd know I was making life difficult for people with that. I hope that the future GNOME Productivity/Office release set is more relaxed about that, but I won't be offended if Glom doesn't get into that. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
