Re: GNOME 2.0 Schedule

[Stephen Browne <stephen browne sun com>]

Hey Im having to defend something I didn't even say now!

I never said anything about FREEZING the UI for GNOME.
I never said anything about SUN leading or trying to enforce anything.
It has never been the intention of SUN to hijack the GNOME project
or cut anyone out, and I challenge anyone to show any evidence to the
contrary.  From the start, people at SUN  have tried to be good
community members and I believe are entitled to make suggestions
and highlight areas of concern just like anyone else.

As for sander's evil demented bug.............

/me decides to pay sander a visit the next time he is in the office.
