Der Standard interviews
Jon McCann about GNOME 3 and related topics. "Some of the
feedback is certainly valid and we are going to use that to make informed
decisions in the GNOME3 cycle - remember we've only had one release so
far. In couple of the talks we pointed out that it took us eight, nine
years to get to where GNOME2 ended up and we've had like four months of
GNOME3. So there are plenty of things we still have to do. There are a lot
of holes in our story. People will look at some things and say 'Why is this
there? Does this really make sense?'. And in many cases that's because we
didn't get to really finish that off. And that will start to fill in, the
story will become a little bit more complete as we go through this
cycle. I'm not saying that all this people will be completely convinced and
that's unfortunate but I think over time people will realize what we are
doing has been at least thought through."
