Thoughts on 2.10

[George Farris <george gmsys com>]

I've been following the news groups and talking to a number of users
over the last couple of days. By no means does this qualify as a good
poll but there are a couple of things that come up over and over again. 
Most of these people are from University settings, professors, staff and
students.

What people want improved in GNOME, these are in no particular order:

1) Consistent drag and drop policy.
2) Speed, GNOME performance requires improvement, app start up etc.
3) Ways to mount network (mostly Samba) via Nautilus so it appears next
time user logs in.  (Mapping a drive in MS comes to mind)
4) Solid selection of Media applications.
5) A good gtk CD/DVD burner application.
6) Working point and click plugin installation for browsers.
7) Consistent print dialog in all apps, browsers/office apps etc.


If those could be solved for the next release and then start in on new
features again it would make a lot of people happy.

Cheers
