Federico and I have already resolved this, I believe.  He was afraid that
Slashdot/Freshmeat wouldn't provide excellent feedback; the dozens of
multipage analysis emails I have recieved(only one anti-ms comment, and it
wasn't even a real flame!) were astounding.  So we appear to be cool on
this.

Did I misunderstand, Federico?  I didn't think you wanted to close off GNOME
development to the public.
