I totally agree, IMHO GNOME is a base to allow distributors, vendors and third parts to build up and extend their own user experience and services and "fight" on free market.

May I add: who is in charge to settle those _technical_ and _political_ sides of GNOME Desktop development? ;-) Cheers, Luca _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
