How does this sound. I personally believe this would be an awesome thing to do! :) Instead of throwing randomly throwing applications at the user, we'd be able to provide them with a way how to use the applications that actually *fit* these use cases. I would really like to see something like that evolve, but I'm obviously not the only one anymore who has a say about that (and I'm quite happy about that; thank you Chris and Pierros once again!). Cheers! --Sebastian P.S.: Would it make sense to put these use cases in the wiki or maybe organize a sprint in IRC around that? > Cheers, > Martin _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
