Re: Show Me The Code..

Hi Johan!

The archive on http://mail.gnome.org/pipermail/gnome-gui-list/ has only
november-1999 archived.

I think that a reason why this is getting stirred up again might be that
some people on this list haven't been subscribers for that long time
yet, and haven't participated in the previous discussions, and don't
know what agreements were made. I know that I'm one of those types. :)

Do you mind re-submitting your proposal, and a summary on what
conclusions were made?

At least, I'd be very thankful for that! Thanks in advance!

Christian
