Mark, I want to ask you: What is you vision about GnomeShell? It fit's
with what you are planing? Can we see blueprints of you plans?
At first I disliked the change, now I don't care. But I must say that I
hate half baked solutions... like the new GDM (you must admit it, the
default theme is horrid). I've seen lately (since Hardy) that Canonical
is pushing half made software in it's "sane default", in the hope that
more eyeballs would lead to acceptance and better software.
Alpha and Beta testers doesn't make better software, programers do.
The success of most of the greatest software protects is because of
programing skills and good taste. That's the example of the Linux kernel
witch is based on Linus taste.
