    Gnome 2.22 road map !

    RoadMap - GNOME Live!

    the last two years the gnome developers are making very fast improvements , this will increase the popularity and stability of Ubuntu .

    I like gnome because it's very fast and straight forward ( sure using it not compiling it ) , while loading it doesn't take a lot of memory , still removed from Slackware , I hope it'll be back soon ( i hope in the next release ) .

    I think Linux the last two years is going in the correct way !

    Regards.

    The roadmap is exciting. I was looking at it earlier and in particular I'd like to see a new interface on Ekiga. It's a cool app that gets too little attention.

    On the other hand Pidgin still doesn't have video support. Maybe Ekiga and Pidgin would do well working together on that.

    Really this is needed , i mean pidgin is an old application and still doesn't have video support .

    It's a pity. I remember that I think GAIM 1.4 was supposed to have it at one point as the vv plugin but it never appeared. Considering aMSN has it working already I'm surprised they haven't just borrowed the code. But all the same it's still my favourite IM Client.

    KDE is a good and complete desktop environment , but what is missing in KDE it's simplicity !

    I started my Linux experience with Gnome loaded onto Red Hat about seven years ago, but after a few months changed to KDE. Each new Gnome release brought me around to trying it again, but I always returned to KDE.

    Now, they've both been improving with each new release, but over the last couple of releases, Gnome has really captured my attention once again, and at this point I like it just as well as KDE. They both have some advantages and disadvantages, but I could accept either of them as my permanent desktop if the other were to fail. Hopefully that won't happen because it's great to have a choice.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing what Gnome will bring to the desktop in future releases.

    I've been running Gnome full time since the first Compiz releases. I have just installed KDE4 rc1 and I'm playing with it a little. Ironically one of the things I disliked about Gnome at the start was the lack of context menus. One the desktop at least in KDE4 the context menu is pretty much non existant other than to launch a plasmoid. While I anxiously await KDE4 shipping in its final state I still have my attention held by Gnome and probably will until KDE4.1.

    From what I heard, KDE 4.1 will be the release to watch (as you say).
