Is the GNU system for programmers only ? I doubt that is what you
mean. I want everyone to have freedom using a GNU system (whatever the
underlying kernel might be). I think you are underestimating the rapid
change in computing from PC-style machines to smart phones and
tablets. I agree with Stormy, the most urgent area for the GNOME
effort should be to ensure that the GNU system, desktop and all, runs
well on phone and tablet devices. Unless we can rapidly make this
change I fear we will be left behind and seen as "old" technology.
