not to jump in, but if it isn't ready for the corporate market, then why is gnome 2 no longer supported? Seems a bit rash to me then... I personally think it is ready, but you must have that mindset as well.

It's not ready because we aren't done yet.  There are still plenty of things that we are still designing including web, music and so forth.  I wouldn't want to give start corporate users on something that is going to be changing from release to release.  It would drive them nuts.

If you're a corporate business, and you have a support contract then presumably GNOME 2 will be supported for them until they are ready to upgrade to something else.  Besides GNOME 2 is already quite stable, maybe you don't get new features, but if you've noticed our last couple of releases didn't have a lot of new stuff, only polishing things up.

I don't know of any business that would want to support to something that has only had two releases in it's life time.

I personally use it at work and thanks to a strong internal community we have integrated a lot of features into our corporate network (which is heavily win32).

Why not look into programming some of the functionality yourself and
share it with others?

Because that is not our companies mission.  We don't make operating systems or desktop environments.

Sure that makes sense.
 

We do contribute to a couple other open-source projects but only because they directly relate to our product.

That's great that you give back!
 

With regard to GNOME, we are happy to report bugs or provide usability feedback.  However, it doesn't seem as if anyone is interested in listening to the users.

We take our bugs seriously.  Please do file them as you see them.  We care about GNOME and want to make sure that it is the best it can be.

Thanks,

sri

                   Why can we only have dynamically allocated workspaces?

               There is already an extension for maintaining a number
               of static
               workstations.  See

               <http://git.gnome.org/browse/__gnome-tweak-tool/tree/gtweak/__tweaks/tweak_windows.py

                   Why not make it configurable so you can choose to
                   have predefined
                   workspace of dynamically created workspaces.

               You can to that; now, today.
