I would have been happy to have given you some background on why the decision was made. Jon has been doing some fantastic work on Nautilus recently. It was getting very little - if any - developer attention and he has stepped up to make dramatic improvements, including addressing long-standing complaints. I'm really excited about the next release of Nautilus thanks to his work; instead of having no movement whatsoever, we are going to have lots of great improvements to talk about. There has been a bunch of discussion around these changes. Not the mailing list approach that you seem to want, but the existing Nautilus maintainers have been involved and a range of design people have been consulted. I personally agreed with removing compact view - I think it's a good change. ... I'd like to end on a constructive note. I propose that GNOME adopt the following policy. No major feature will be removed from a core GNOME application before a discussion has occurred on a public mailing list such as this one (or on a Bugzilla bug, with a prominent mailing list announcement pointing to the bug in question). I also propose that all such feature removals that have occurred in the 3.6 development cycle be reverted until such discussion has occured . I strongly disagree with that suggestion. I don't think it would be workable, and I don't think it would make GNOME a better place to work. There is still time to discuss changes that have been made; we don't need to wrap ourselves up in policies. The features in core GNOME apps are the result of years of hard work and consensus building by our community. ... There is no consensus. There are features that some people have gotten used to, and there has been a long period of adding features without considering how they fit into the whole. No one objects when you add a feature, yet features can ruin a design if you keep adding them. Nautilus has been at saturation point for a while; it's at the stage where it's actually very difficult to improve it without taking something away.

Existing designers and developers may have been consulted, but they are not the only ones affected. The choices that a handful of people are making affect everyone who uses GNOME, though the community is rarely consulted or even notified until the change has been made and all but finalized. I suspect that I am not the only one disturbed and disappointed by what seem like rapid changes to existing projects without public discussion. If there was discussion regarding the removal of compact view and later icon mode with text, I'd like to know when and where it occurred as well as when and where I should keep an eye out for future changes and removals. As I understand it (and I'm rather new to the development community, so I may be wrong), adding features, new modules, etc to GNOME is an often lengthy (and perhaps more importantly, transparent) process of proposal, review, design and re-design, which seems proper. It serves to keep GNOME running smoothly and the community at large involved in development. Unfortunately though, the process for removing features doesn't appear to be nearly as robust and/or transparent. A handful of developers and/or designers talk amongst themselves and decide to remove features without consulting the community at large. As a result changes like the ones above occur rapidly over an hour or perhaps a day, without any sort of public discussion or even notification (aside from postings on bugzilla and git, which apparently occur after discussion). And then on release day we are surprised that feature XYZ has been removed. Since the removal occurred a month or more back, we are told that we had ample time to disagree and since we failed to do so, tough luck. However, since the removals are done quietly without so much as a blog posting this seems disingenuous at best - even when posters replied within a few hours [1] to the change on bugzilla, they were all but ignored (at least publicly) by those affecting the change. I have long been under the impression that since GNOME is a free software project, development is (or at least should be) done in a public, transparently and with inclusion as a
Re: Design in the open
As someone who is just starting to become involved in design development after many years of using open source free software, I find these discussions fascinating on multiple levels. For whatever reason I have always found communities in free/open source software to be rather intimidating, which is probably why its taken me so long to become involved. I suspect this is true for many people, and I fully support anything and everything that makes it easier for people to become involved and thereby feel connected to the project. The article was definitely interesting and as I think about it more and more, I can certainly see how developing a 'planning language' would be helpful to GNOME. With that in mind, I suspect a first step would be to start a wiki page of GNOME Design Terms, with a list of terms and their (community-defined) definitions in relation to GNOME Design. Examples can be added as development proceeds, until we end up with a wiki page explaining our 'planning language' which we can point new people to when they are becoming involved. Such a page/language would certainly streamline and simplify the design process, and allow new (potential) contributors to write proposals and suggestions in a way that makes it easier for everyone to understand and critique them. Another idea would be to begin giving users a simple way to provide feedback on what they prefer in design. This could be done via a GNOME Design Blog or similar, where posts focus on upcoming features along with examples to be voted on – do users prefer buttons/menus/etc that look like X, Y, or Z? Should we remove minimize/maximize/close buttons? Do users want a journal? How important is privacy to you? Etc. Require users to register, and when they do so ask if they'd like to sign up for a (weekly? monthly?) news letter regarding the ongoing development of GNOME and related technologies/applications, as well as new polls, blog posts, etc. Essentially, create a new level of GNOME membership, below the Foundation level, with a much lower bar for inclusion – require only a name and a (verified) email address – and allow almost anyone to participate in the ongoing discussions and development of GNOME.

Re: Module Proposal: Zeitgeist
You know, when I first stumbled on zeitgeist running on my system a year or so ago, I didn't know what in the world it was doing, although it appeared to be logging... something. And I think I probably forced it to quit out of pure habit, before going online to figure out what it was actually doing. For the next few months I was pretty ambivilant about having it logging stuff on my system, and continued to kill it occasionally without really know what it was doing :p. And then I realized something - its actually quite useful. By keeping *ALL* logging in one place, it makes it much easier to keep track of, and also much easier to make sure that only those applications, etc which you want to be logged are actually logged. Of course, this is made immeasurabley easier w/ the awesome privacy settings in Ubuntu 12.04 (I'm honestly not sure - does such a thing exist in other distros?). Anyhow, to the point at hand... With GNOME-Clocks, having zeitgeist keep track of alarms, timers, etc makes sense since it allows users to close clocks when not in direct use, thereby saving resources while also keeping their alarms/timers/etc in place. The same I imagine is true for Epiphany/Web as well as many other programs. It also of course enables users to easily erase logs if/when they so choose, which is, IMHO just as important these days as keeping logs in the first place, if not more so.

No options for deleting cookies when you close web, or even for accepting cookies on a per-cookie-basis as in most every other browser, or for deleting single cookies (you can only clear them all at once - an even that option is slightly hidden away).
