What is the reason why those two exist?
They're to me they're almost identical channels, and I have way too
many tabs open in Empathy, so I've started hanging out in #fedora
-workstation only. Well, #fedora-desktop tends to have more GNOME
development discussion, but everything that happens there could really
happen in #gnome-hackers or #fedora-workstation instead....
I'll quote from David Zeuthen's 7 year old mail:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2008-September/msg0001...
"
I think the question of why #fedora-desktop is on gimpnet has come up
before so I'll try to repeat what I think the reason was: it's more
important to stay close to the upstream channels; it does happen, rather
frequently in fact, that people from other GNOME distros pop into
#fedora-desktop to ask questions or that people working on Fedora
desktop summon people to #fedora-desktop. We'd lose part of that synergy
if we were on freenode.
