My answers to Fernando’s top ten GNOME questions:
- Why Red Hat is not making any Java-GNOME application? Because they don’t have enough mad-crazy Brazilian Java love.
- Why garnacho is not yet on p.g.o? Because he doesn’t blog and/or hassle me enough.
- Why GNOME people are not forking gaim? Because we’re all secretly waiting for Gossip to use libgaim (or something else) and be a truly awesome GNOME IM client. By the way, did I mention how my ideal IM client would not have a buddy window at all? Well, it wouldn’t. I’d just use contact-lookup-applet and other presence avatars around my desktop and applications.
- Why Microsoft has delayed so much Longhorn? Genital herpes.
- Why all of us are not using Eclipse instead of Emacs or vi for developing GNOME? C’mon dude, Emacs is bad enough… Javur me harder!
- Which one would be the killer UI Builder for GNOME, glade-3 or Gazpacho? What about Stetic? I think danw from Novell is working on this, but there’s no CVS module yet.
- Why we are not coding in scheme as the original GNOME Annouce said? Because Miguel thought UNIX sucked more than LISP. Oops.
- Whould gnome-keyring-manager be included on GNOME 2.10? Someone (*hint*) has to propose it first. How is the UI refactoring going?
- Who will wear the pants at Stuttgard? Only Mister Andrew E. Sobala knows!
- How many eastern eggs do we have in GNOME? I preferred the easy questions.
