Market share of epiphany seems to be really low [1], I don't think it would be worth. If it was about a symbolic retribution, I would say that Google already does a lot for GNOME.

Considering the Online Desktop effort and the interests of Google in online services, it would make sense for GNOME to offer extensive testing so that Google services work very well out of the box. Of course, the same goes with other online service providers that are interested. Simos -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I'm happy to work with Google to get an account for the GNOME Foundation. We'll need to pull in the right developers to get their support for putting it Epiphany or where ever else we have search options ... Stormy On Tue, May 5, 2009 at 11:28 PM, Jaap A.

Marketshare of epiphany is much lower but if it is already a couple of thousand dollars a year I think it would be worth the effort. Good idea?
