Hopefully it can be explored here on the lists too, since not everyone
will be a GUADEC. But this is an important discusion.
The last time this was brought up, there was lots of flamage, and no
real conclusions. The only resolution I saw was that the current
GNOME office would stay in GNOME 1.4, since there weren't other
options available in the timeframe. That conclusion has been borne
out. (Question: Is there a deadline for other apps to be in 1.4?)
However, about GNOME 2.0, the board members, etc seemed to punt in the
last discussion. However, this issue does need to be moved forward in
some way, if only to begin to develop criteria for determining the
contents of GNOME office in GNOME 2.0.
Hopefully the discussion can generate more light and less heat this
time.
