And that is the problem, the developers seem split between two corners and 
it's hard to find a suitable solution for everyone. I fully agree here but 
this is also a big negative issue to bring Nautilus seriously forward. I have 
time and could help in Nautilus development but develop what ? As long as 
there are no clear roadmaps and clear decisions what Nautilus should be, no 
one is really interested to help. Fixing bugs is one issue but this still 
doesn't bring it forward and having my own visions developed and the 
contributed to Nautilus - and have it rejected afterwards is just a waste of 
time. Even now people bring up the 'Nautilus should be OO issue again' and 
whenever I read it I'm getting depressions and that's the reason why I am 
using and pretty much prefering KDE these days because the things are exactly 
done the way I would like GNOME to be and that's why I don't need to knock my 
head off and wait until one day someone decides where and what GNOME actually 
should become. I pretty much would like to know for what I gonna contribute 
my work and what future direction it leads. This is a general problem in 
GNOME, sorry to write it but I do write it here instead on other places so 
you can be sure it's what I have to write.
