Hmm... well, why not?
As long as it is not offensive I personally see no reason to hide views
from the others. And it is an issue which seems to bother many of us, if
not all.

The arch diagram that is currently on the web page looks very nice but
is hard to maintain.
I would vote for a simple table, or several tables, one for each layer.
There we could also mention the current versions, link to internal and
external sources etc.
I originally wanted to start something like this but still wait for my
Gnome account to get activated. I thought it should not take that long.
I will write up something offline and send it to Dave/Stormy so they can
hopefully upload it.

Oh well, this is in my court and I have to apologize for the delay - we
are preparing for LinuxTag next week (BTW, does anyone from Gnome/mobile
intend to visit LinuxTag http://www.linuxtag.org ?)
It is not forgotten! I am working on it but it still take some days, sorry!
