There are still plenty of things that we are still designing including web, music and so forth. I wouldn't want to give start corporate users on something that is going to be changing from release to release. It would drive them nuts. If you're a corporate business, and you have a support contract then presumably GNOME 2 will be supported for them until they are ready to upgrade to something else. Besides GNOME 2 is already quite stable, maybe you don't get new features, but if you've noticed our last couple of releases didn't have a lot of new stuff, only polishing things up. I don't know of any business that would want to support to something that has only had two releases in it's life time. I personally use it at work and thanks to a strong internal community we have integrated a lot of features into our corporate network (which is heavily win32). sri > On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 9:24 PM, Sriram Ramkrishna <s...@ramkrishna.me>wrote: > >> >> >> On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 7:17 PM, Gantry York >> <gantry.y...@digitascio.com>wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> On 12/05/2011 05:58 PM, Sriram Ramkrishna wrote: >>> >>> It's not ready for the corporate market, we've only had two releases and >>>> things move slowly in the corporate world. >>>> >>>> Why not look into programming some of the functionality yourself and >>>> share it with others? >>>> >>> >>> Because that is not our companies mission.
