Absolutely not! The Gnome Foundation was not alive when the majority of the work on Gnumeric was done. Also, as a historical aside, the "Gnome Project" was guaranteed, when the foundation was formed, that the foundation would not *become* the project but merely provide legal, financial, and organizational support to the project. Despite the warnings from those of us against the formation of the foundation, the foundation immediately started changing the vision of itself to the point that the project and the foundation are now confused.
Thank you very much for the correction. I was pretty sure I would be missing at least one level of nuance (umm, I really want a stronger word here) in all of this, which led me to hesitate to intervene. But then I saw what seemed to be a misunderstanding of the original request which led me to feel I had no choice. ;-) -- David Benfell, Ph.D. benfell parts-unknown org
