Or to but it another way. Is the door open for a pure gnome spin using community power in the future? Where we have the default browser be gnome's default browser.. and use the gnome specific office applications instead of open office? I know this isn't practical, but I think it should be pointed out that what the best-of-breed 'Desktop' looks like right now is not strictly gnome, it does deviate in significant ways at the application layer to take advantage of best-of-breed applications. Because of this it does make sense to avoid calling it Fedora Gnome, because it is not a faithful integration of the gnome application set as invisioned by upstream. I don't think the pool of gnome purists is particularly large so I doubt we will see a push for a spin of a vanilla gnome, ever.. but there is room for it in the spin-space. And besides, 4 years from now the Fedora Desktop will be using the Sugar interface with the dolphin-accessibility extensions so this how debate is really short-sighted. -jef"As a card carrying member of Gnome Purists Anonymous, the best-of-breed approach to RedHat's view of how to build a desktop sickens me. Having firefox as the default browser is a perversion of the sanctity of the gnome ui."spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
