If Unity developers don't realize that they are also Ubuntu developers, then no wonder things don't work quite like they ought. Maybe somebody in this group needs to make sure that somebody from that group is assigned to follow this one. At your suggestion, I went looking around for some "appropriate" list. I found a blog which seems to be used by the designers to talk with each other, but no list as such, or much of a way for an outsider to present ideas -- especially critical ideas. Do you have a URL to refer me to, or were you just trying to get rid of a lurker? I am _trying_ to contribute to my favorite distro, and I have learned over the years that a timely question from a concerned onlooker can sometimes eliminate real problems. When you are driving down the road and notice that people keep pointing at your car, you probably should stop and find out what they are pointing at -- it's probably the gas cap you forgot to replace. A quick glance at the Unity blogs makes me fear that they are so busy envisioning the wonderful trees they are planning to grow, that they have forgotten to tend the forest today. I have been guilty of the same thing -- so busy making a new program design elegant. that I forgot that I also had to make it _work_. Please forward this to the "appropriate" persons. I'm afraid that pointing and shouting warnings is really the most I can contribute. Learning how to navigate your bureaucracy and whom to lobby is a bit beyond me. -- Vernon
