Yeah, because hackers is supposed to be not-so-technical, this list is
supposed to be not-so-technical, and all of our technical lists are
massively split so the audience is not as integrated as the development
going on (bonobo + gnomelibs, gconf + gnomelibs, etc).

Yeah, sorry, I said that oddly. I meant "integrating desktop-devel related
lists and integrating gnome-libs-devel related lists".
