you need a design first, if you want to comment on it. also, to dispel a myth: no design is "finished". ever. there is always time to fix things. there's also a certain amount of time between design and implementation, and then there's a certain amount of time for testing to inform the design and change the implementation. if you think that the design, once done, is also set in stone then you probably haven't been keeping up with the development of GNOME between 3.0 and 3.10. things get iterated continuously. some stuff also needs to get into a release to get feedback, given that users don't check alpha/beta releases, and distributions update GNOME every 6 to 12 months. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
