Actually I'm quite excited about the development pace for GNOME nowadays - there are lots of cool *user-visible* features landing in new releases. The fact that it's hard for some OSes to keep up is an interesting indicator that the focus in GNOME is more on features than (boring [1]) abstraction / portability work. I'm not saying that's 100% right - in fact, my previous mails calls for help in that area - but as an end-user, I'm pretty excited about GNOME. I would definitely not characterize it as "moving along slowly". As a developer (and working for an OS vendor), I *do* want more OS vendors to step up and intensify their participation in the project. Yes, more participation from several different OS vendors might slow down feature development a bit (for example, landing a *simple* library-based abstraction for systemd's logind mechanism), but at the end of the day, it's probably going to be a win for everyone. David [1] : I'm entitled to label it this way because I've done a lot of this kind of work - it really is not very exciting or sexy :-) _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
