Luis I very much agree with your comments about the gnome vs. distro issue
that is here, and I of course favor doing what is best for gnome in the ui
(even when I disagree sometimes). As far as epiphany the "project" goes,
from the conversation here it seems that Marco would prefer to use just "Web
Browser" since we are in it for the fun of making a good ui. Anyway I've
said my peace and i'm going to shut-up now :)
