'Here's a specific example of something I like about the GNOME
community. It's important to them that things be "beautiful." I put
beautiful in quotes because I think the GNOME community means much more
than pretty when they say "beautiful." I think they mean:
* Pretty. The desktop, your user interface, should look nice. It
should be beautiful.
* Easy to use. Functional. When things flow smoothly and everything
is in just the right spot, right where you expect to find it, it's
beautiful.
* Done right. When things are coded right and they are reliable
functional, easy to figure out, they are beautiful.
I wouldn't disagree with any of those desiderata, but there are two
more that no list of GNOME desiderata should omit: freedom and social
solidarity.
