Oh, so you agree that a lot of options are missing? Good, so what are you doing to identify those options? Do the majority of GNOME developers agree that there are too few options? The purpose of this survey is not to identify those options, you need other tools for that. Anyway, if GNOME developers agree that there are too few options, this question doesn't hurt, and if they don't, this might help to convince them. -- Felipe Contreras _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
