What do you think of my idea to let users vote for or > against controversial features? If something is suboptimal, it should be fixed after analysing how to best solve the issue. Voting is a suboptimal solution though. For one, everyones ideal solution differs. For example: Based on user feedback, settings in gnome-terminal have been changed back and forth over the release of several GNOME versions. Secondly, voting only gives influence to the ones who know about the vote. Instead it should reflect the intended users accurately. Lastly, sometimes what seems right might not be the best solution. That is why there a designers, etc. Suggest just getting involved with the design team and talk to them. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
