It already exists, but could be extended to add patches from Ximian to this wonderful desktop, on the Woody backport but also on Sarge and Sid. > Running a completely separate project to create new packages based on > Ximian's work (rather than the existing Debian work) doesn't sound sensible > at all. > > I'm sure that if a coordinated project to keep GNOME updated for Debian > stable existed, many more people would use stable, and many more people > would use GNOME! :-) [ I'm also fairly sure that a few companies and/or > goverment agencies could back its development... ] I know of at least one company (+-50 people) using GNOME 1.4 and Woody as desktop for the moment. Now, they are impatient to get GNOME 2.2. I'm going to upgrade them before September, I think. I'm planning to keep working on Woody, and change their desktop only. The main reason of the migration will be the speedup when using the new Nautilus compared to the old one. > - Jeff -- Jérôme Warnier <jwarnier@beeznest.net>
