GNOME 2.4 Diaries

Starting to work in earnest on the GNOME 2.4 release notes, I sent the following note to the desktop-devel list:


Last time 'round, the main theme of the release notes was "usability,
performance, appearance, and accessibility support". If we had a slogan,
it was a desktop that "just works". What is the dominant theme of the
2.4? What should we be pimping here?

Some answers:

  • Sucks less
  • Multimedia, Usability, Accessability, and the Web
  • Usable, accessible, simple.
    Simplicity works.
  • Just works -> Just rocks
  • "The Caring Desktop
  • The desktop that cares
  • A Nice Desktop
  • A Desktop With Certain Qualities
  • Something Nice
  • Some Stuff With Certain Qualities
  • GNOME 2.4 -- the Family-Sized Desktop
  • The desktop with a heart
  • Enterprise Ready
  • Enterprise Friendly
