I agree. What's the point of having a tag editor when you can't even play your songs? I don't think the average user would understand the inclusion of this app without having a companion media player. > > > > - libsoup > gal > gtkhtml > evolution-data-server > evolution > evolution-exchange > I could go either way. I use Evo, but think that it fits nicely in gnome-office. However, I do thing e-d-s makes a good candidate since there are other apps that can make use of it. > - gnome-volume-manager > > Concerns about what happens with a 2.4 kernel, agreement that it > should be resolved before inclusion.

You mention Linux 2.4, but this won't work on Solaris or any of the BSDs without HAL support. Now that is probably not a good reason to hold it back, but I have tried to submit DBUS patches for FreeBSD, and they have not been adopted. Combine that with the fact that there hasn't been a recent release of either DBUS or HAL, I'm not really sure what the cross-platform status is. > > > - vino > > Concern about the lack of a VNC client in GNOME, suggested that > Vino should have a vncviewer launcher dialog like tsclient, but > that hasn't happened. > > I started to try and summarise the rest of the discussion, but > realised that, as the author, I probably shouldn't. I like this. I use it, and it works well out-of-the-box. I don't think a viewer is really critical as apps like tsclient do take up the slack. Maybe in a future release, the two can be more tightly integrated.
