I fear that it will give the project a bad name. Worse, it's been giving the development model a bad name. I've heard a few too many suits tell me now that they're sure the Open Source model fails miserably for apps, with GNOME cited as an example of that and tell me that we should stick to kernels and archaic cmdline utils.. =p They also claim that KDE's stability has come from Troll Tech, whose Qt library has been kept out of our hands until now. Needless to say, they don't have much faith and they're looking for an excuse, but GNOME is a very high profile project and to release a "1.0 stable release" now is irresponsible of the coders working on it. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer PGP: E8D68481E3A8BB77 8EE22996C9445FBE The Source Comes First! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Culus> there is 150 meg in the /tmp dir!
