I'm not sure Workspace is a good choice because it overlaps with 'Workspace' term used in other desktop environments which itself overlaps with 'Project' term in Étoilé. So I think it may be a good thing to find another name. That's why I decided to use 'Space' rather than 'Workspace' when working on my prototype. Aside of that, I personally like 'Outerspace' too. Any other opinions? I'm fine to ship with OuterSpace… I may try to find some times to make some UI refinements on it. Should we plan another minor release for the LiveCD to fix major bugs found in the first weeks of public availability? Or rather just focus on release 0.2 itself and the next release 0.3 (with related LiveCD version)? >> We do have some other improvements in the trunk, like sleep/ >> restart/shutdown. I almost have a fully-working solution with gnome-power-manager. This would be a temporary solution for LiveCD. I have also started some early work on our own power management daemon. It needs to run as root. If you consider current System version runs with normal user privilege only, I cannot fit power management in System even as a temporary solution. >> So whoever wants his work in LiveCD can merge it into -stable. >> That is pretty much all we need. >> To make things easier, we can release only Etoile part, not >> GNUstep, >> more specifically, only an account for Etoile with 3rd party >> application >> like DBModeller as we discussed. >> (We obviously need to ship GNUstep in any case). > > Yep -- I like this idea too.

Personally I don't really care whether there is a gnustep account or not. Yet it could be useful for demo.
