Re: GNOME voted "Favorite Desktop Environment" 2009

[Paul Cutler <pcutler foresightlinux org>]

I blogged it:  http://www.silwenae.org/blog/?p=1144 (And I contrasted it against the 2004 results - quite a change!)

I'll look into wgo this weekend, I need to spend looking at how the makefile on wgo works to add content, so no promises, and I have a few other things prioritized ahead of it, just in case some one else wants to jump in and do it.

I think wgo is more important than a blog post. (Although both are excellent. :)

I did twitter it ...

Yes, absolutely.

This is social proof for current GNOME users, for current third-party
developers, and Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora -- reassuring
them all they made the right decision, when they choose GNOME.

It's also social proof for undecided users, third-party developers, and
distributions, making them curious, maybe, so they reconsider their
current usage of other desktops.

It's also a small triumph for GNOME developers and volunteers. In polls
made some years ago, we just got 30-35 percent of the votes. This
improvement is something to be happy about, isn't it?

I'm really wondering why noone shouted "PARTY!" yet. ;-)

Seriously, a blog post or two would be nice, also an update of the wgo
homepage.


Best regards,
Claus
