Although I was once asked on Gnome bugzilla by person who had more points then I did (I was already double-number then) what do I mean by 'zombie process' ;) I don't like everything about GNOME 3. I disagree with a few decisions[1] and I see a few areas of improvement[2]. However recent threads became IMHO unproductive both for observers and developers. Both sides uses the same arguments over and over again and trivial search of this ML would answer to all arguments, counterarguments etc. I'd like to still have some non-IRC channels[3] of contacting the developers. I found, until recent, that while not all ideas are accepted from time to time they are considered. As much as I don't like moderated mailing lists I'm afraid it become necessity and alternative not to open but r/o ml. Regards [1] Say reboot and deleting file (ok. it's nautilus but it's GNOME 3 design) for example [2] That said I started using (unsuccessfully) hot corners in Windows etc. and I find overall experience. I used the gnome-shell for over a year now with breaks (about 5 months uninterrupted). [3] I generally have bad experience with IRC as usually developer is sleeping/at work when I want to contact him. In addition to other IRC shortcomings.
