Re: Module Proposal: Zeitgeist

Then the design team ought to be more open about what exactly 'their' vision for gnome is, as well as open to other ideas/concepts. Insisting on doing things their way, while being extremely vague as to what exactly their way *is* is not helpful to the rest of the community who is trying to get stuff done. IMHO the entire community is rather insulated from itself and rather hard to break into w/o serious help from someone already on the 'inside' as it were. If you haven't been around for years, no-one seems to particularly care what you have to say. Even finding these sorts of discussions isn't exactly easy, let alone making your voice heard.

do you really want to start talking about what the community think about this ? Because if you want to start talking i recommend to see how many threads we have, specially on gnome-shell ml, about design decisions that makes the community powerless against the almighty Design Team.

... and from before the design team even existed, there are even more threads about "design decisions that make the community powerless against the almighty GNOME Developers" - the (rightful) answer to that is usually "don't just complain, get involved". The same still holds true with the design team - really, those folks would *love* seeing more people getting involved.
