a few reasons:
* We happen to sit in an office within 10 feet of each other
* Design is ideally a high bandwidth activity
* We often have impromptu discussions
* So we can focus and make some decisions (almost always after
talking with upstream, the Fedora community, other smart people from
other distributions, etc)
That makes sense.
I have tried to keep this list in the loop on potentially
controversial
changes, such as the GIMP change.
Thanks for that :-)
In Fedora, we are not very good at 'crystal clear' and
'formal
authority', which sometimes has the unfortunate effect of letting
inertia and diverging interests prevail... The closest you will probably
get to a 'formal authority' is the first few lines of the kickstart file
defining the desktop spin:
# Maintained by the Fedora Desktop SIG:
#
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Desktop
# mailto:fedora-desktop-list@redhat.com
That makes it clear enough for me :-)
So... Back to the theme for F12. If I understand right, you are
completely satisfied neither with Clearlooks nor Nodoka, but deem
Clearlooks to be better candidate for being the default in F12 (for
various reasons stated elsewhere in the thread). Do you have any list
(or something like that) with what you'd like to change in either of
them? I can certainly work on implementing such changes for Nodoka (even
if it won't be default in F12, I'd like to continue with development
both with the current version as well as with the rewrite), and perhaps
might be able to help with Clearlooks as well (no promises though ;-).
