I agree with all the other candidates so far. This board cannot do the work and should not do the technical work anyway. But, as others pointed out, the foundation can organize hackfests or support any initiative that would promote a particular binding. > 2) What are your own feelings on supporting fairly new languages and > standards like Go and Perl 6? If someone is willing to maintain it, this is wonderful. I believe that, to keep a very high quality binding, you either need a very motivated team or some commercial interests. As long as a binding is used commercially, some companies can be paid to support that particular binding and I think it's really good. That's why I think the foundation should encourage and promote commercial support through GNOME companies. Well, I will stop here, else I will repeat what I said in my previous mails :-) Lionel _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
