Not surprising as d-d-l is useless, but not because of the topic. IMO things should be discussed beforehand to get consensus. > go the main town market on a weekend and ask people what color you should > paint your house.

However, the signal to noise ratio I see is loads of noise, almost no signal. Really, I am never going to try and discuss things anymore. It is pointless and makes me sad. Yes, perhaps in the avalanche of messages there are a few useful ones. Not worth the effort. Plus, there is no consensus (or not that I see). Better to just skip the whole consensus part and force things through. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
