I think he forgot to add the "desktop" word, the Fedora default desktop is indeed based on GNOME. >> Eventually, the Fedora board will realize that today's conception of >> spins is a failed experiment and force this change.

I like a lot the idea behind the Games spin (its games not that much) and I would not call it a failed conception. A few weeks ago we had that spin on a laptop (running OpenArena) at the eLiberatica conference and people showed interest. And even the design team has it own spin in a TODO, thinking it is a good idea (something akin of Ubuntu Studio). > Now am I correct to understand you are suggesting that we should > differentiate more then calling a Fedora KDE spin just "Fedora KDE > Spin", such as by calling it something different, like maybe "Kedora"? > Would that not create yet another brand?

I think that would be brand dissolution and a bad thing. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
