When will we think about tomorrow, and not continue to take a look on the past?

2006-02-22 Thread Armand CORBEAUX
With time, things evolve. Sometimes we can have the feeling that things don't evolve enough quickly.

This is more a think after taking a general look on GUI (or whatever you wish to call it).

Why things don't evolve? Why do we hear always, as 5 years ago, the same debates?
Why can we see today what can be assimilate as regressions?

That is not a criticism, but GNOME becomes complicated...

I take the example of the background: Why wasn't it thought for the nuts?
Imagine a simple panel: I drag the background that I want in the
panel, it applies immediatly. I drag out it, it disappears from
panel (the 'remove button becomes deprecated).
When you want to put a painting at a nail, you pose it. When you
want to remove it, you take it down. Why not think simply as in the
daily life?

Damn...do we search simplicity or to purpose a options factory?

I think there's not enough time now to suggest improvements for Ubuntu 6.04...
No no no..I can let it passed away:

Who use daily hibernate and suspend?
There's a stuff I really don't understand in the logout and shutdown in
Dapper: why 2 entries for approximatively the same options? Why
includes suspend and hibernate in logout panel? Is it really an
improvement or just to show that Ubuntu is able to hibernate and
suspend?
Gnome-power-manager (which is installed by default) puropose also the hibernate and suspend options, and in a more usable way.

One more time, sorry if some people feels aggressed, but it's not a
criticism but a information feedback of an observation of the practices
of use of the users.

Hello Armand,

I don't want to be rude, maybe your mail just came with a very bad
timing. 

The mailing lists are full at the moment, it takes too much time to read
through them all. We are in a very hard timing for the development of
the distribution, Feature Freeze is tomorrow and urgent decisions have
to be made.

Please let's try all to (and I don't say that to you alone):

  * be very focused about problems
  * propose solutions
  * don't discuss for discussion's sake
  * maybe try to move the forming of an idea to a wiki page
  * make every creative effort you can to keep the noise / fact
ratio at a reasonable level.
  * use the bug tracker for bugs
  * stop ranting


Sorry Armand, if I picked your mail for this, but the situation
justified it.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
