Precisely today I was thinking about Epiphany and the GNOME Office suite. GTK is something specific to GNOME, and GTK can be the horse of Troja of GNOME in the MS Windows world as (Dave?) pointed recently: you can just download and try. But then we have OpenOffice.org and the Mozilla family as two of the most known and successful free software projects, and they also can be downloaded and tried in MS Windows. They are not part of the GNOME project, yet they are GNOME-friendly. En/na Dan Winship ha escrit: > (And what are we going to convince end users of anyway? "Use GNOME! It > has Epiphany! [Unless you're using Red Hat, SUSE, or Ubuntu. Or anything > else.] It doesn't have an office suite!" My questions are: - How interested is the GNOME project promoting Epiphany and the GNOME Office tools over Firefox and OpenOffice.org (we could add here Evolution vs Thunderbird). - I think I have read from Murray, Dom and others that tools like Epiphany and Abiword are somehow better, but... what are the arguments to afirm this and do we want to promote them? - In general, how strong and valid is the whole GTK thing to be marketed as something distinctive, genuine and worth to test and enjoy? I am no programmer so I have no idea about 'the quality of the product', altough I kind of smell possibilities for being one original piece in our marketing puzzle. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
