Like, everyone. I'm not confident it's ready yet, though; my personal opinion would be to put e-d-s in the desktop this time round and maybe evo itself for 2.8. I'm not very confident about including a module that's been so radically changed from 1.4 in GNOME 2.6. The translators have also voiced "concerns," to put it mildly. -- Andrew Sobala <aes gnome org> The opinions here are my own, and aren't necessarily representative of the foundation or release team.
