I mean that working on GnomeWeb is the first step
towards those two goals, and we can't get much done on
those goals until the new GnomeWeb is up.

In a way, yes.
When a user boots Ubuntu, they see the Ubuntu splash,
the Ubuntu desktop background, and the Ubuntu logo on
the panel. And that's as it should be -- otherwise,
they'd say 'Hey, I put in an Ubuntu CD, what's this
Gnome stuff?'
But at the same time, a lot of these users don't know
that they're using the Gnome desktop.
