. The less we set in stone in terms of solutions, provided we spec out and provide functionality to solve them, the more likely it is that the distros will converge on a set of applications that will win out on excellence for the use cases the distro selects, but everyone is equally able to hook in and replace a given application. -David Nielsen ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
