no i'm not forgetting it, i'm just acknowledging the fact that it seems like nobody has thought of that yet. and i don't feel like encouraging them. anyway, now that i think of it i see my pr0n example was bad, so i'll move on to real-life examples: sometimes i've searched for ubuntu or openoffice or whatever in emule, and i've rarely seen the latest official and untouched versions as the most sourced ones. when they upload stuff to p2p networks, people like to "help" by compressing stuff with .rar (and adding a password so they have to visit their site), adding incorrect readmes, uploading experimental alphas, and in general messing everything up. do we want people doing that with our gnome? do we want to distribute gnome in ways that we don't control at all? can we guarantee that we'll always be the most sourced file? can we guarantee that we'll always keep up with the latest versions? i don't think so... imho we shouldn't try to cover every single distribution method out there. it'd be more than enough if we had proper distribution channels, all of them properly associated with gnome.org. -- Santiago Roza Departamento I+D - Thymbra [EMAIL PROTECTED] ps: midget pr0n? cool!
