Hi, Thanks for taking the time to re-send on foundation-list. > The idea is simple (but long and complex to implement).

I really think that this will make GNOME a more appealing desktop. If applications are enabled to use it and with one-click download and install them would make easier to convert users to developers since users can feel more easily to contribute an add-on (i.e. my favorite color scheme for gedit) than contributing directly to gedit. My concerns are mostly about sysadmin work, servers capacity and bandwidth. For the first should not be a problem since the foundation is planning to hire a sysadmin and there's also the volunteers (which I just added me on the mailinglist) The second and third are the hard ones, do we have resources to by and host a servers or a farm of servers to be able to cope up with the user demand?
