Re: [Nautilus-list] what's happening to Nautilus, other packages (Eazel)

[Cesar Cardoso <cesarcardoso skydome net>]

This is a sad day for all of us working, helping, evangelizing or even
using Nautilus. But it's a good news that all those talented people that
worked at Eazel will be around. Nautilus' future looks bright.

It's a real pity - Eazel Services was an interesting idea. Hope that
ammonite and trilobite won't be retired; maybe the distros into those
services business (RedHat? Progeny?) can use it.

Why not extending the tinderbox idea to the whole GNOME?
This should be integrated with GNOME Packaging Project, IMHO, to produce
builds, maybe other-day builds, or even daily.
