The general message I recieved from the coding contingent was "Well, we
don't care if you have a good or well developed idea that everybody wants,
we're doing our own thing, so shut up if you can't code, you're a dumbass
since you can't code, I'm only going to give you web space if you code
something, wahhhhh we're coders so we're special."

I still haven't heard a response:  If I'm not supposed to write proposals,
why are there proposals on the GNOME web page?
