Regarding user-friendlyness, there are two other major issues. First, the website badly needs to be updated more often. Second, Dia needs more shapes. As for the website, it is still a mystery to me that none of the developers have the time to update the news section. Pointing to the page that contains the CVS snapshots is important, too. As for the shapes, I'm not sure the users of this list can do much - if they can, I guess they've already done it. I think Dia needs more publicity, and it must be made clear that if someone finds a shape is missing in Dia, he should at best provide it, at worst, describe what is missing. What do you think of having a "shape missing" report page on the site, not unlike a bug report page? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Free account at http://mail.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
