Re: Active Applications list

[Kao Chen <kaochen2 gmail com>]

The community  is ready to help you, for tests, bugs, documentations, spread out the GnomeShell philosophy  and also for making code. But if me, an enthusiastic user, I can't understand the choices that have been made, and  if I don't understand how to use GnomeShell, how can I help you?.
We are all ready to free our mind, and to learn this new desktop approach, but we can't be useful if nobody explains to us.

I thinks a clear intention note, a FAQ, and eventually a screencast could suppress many boring discussions on this list.
Preparing a text now will also help us (all the community) to handle all the critics in September. Gnome needs to be ready for the same attacks that Kde4.0 had tested few month ago. 
So If you want more contributors and more useful contributions, please clarify the goals and the choices.

Regards
Kao

One time list reply (please, no replies on this list):
Freedom of speech does apply, as you can write whatever you want in a
private email. If you continue to make use of this mailing list for an
offtopic conversation, then don't forget that you've been warned by a
moderator (me). If you cannot see why freedom of speech is different
from allowing everything on this mailing list, just pretend that it is
read by an very evil moderator.

And really, aside from being offtopic, the raised arguments are pretty
poor (community != executing every wish.. s/executing/considering/ is
more close to what has happened).
