The Gnome core leadership appears to be overwhelmed. Every now and then someone
 cries out "where is such and such? why is it not available yet?". I've been
 waiting two years for projects like gIDE to become usable but as you can
 see, the latest stable release was in May and I still would not use it;
 Not to belittle the great work these developers are putting in.

This whole "Linux/Gnome" deal is not a simple thing. There are "Bigest software
 companies" out there spending GaJaZillions on development time and resources
 on making Winxx (a.k.a "The other white meat" ) the only platform around.
 They do that by conglomerating on a problem and solving it. Gnome addresses
 the "Desktop" environment we are all enjoying today. The development environment has been moving slowly. Very slowly. 

If we all sit around waiting for someone else to do it, it will never get
 done. I'm willing to put in what I can. As far as having separate list,
 well just look at the thread..
