"GNOME as it exists today is a mature and powerful platform for desktop applications on Linux. Because the developers have put so much emphasis on usability, anyone can quickly become comfortable with a desktop running GNOME. Large scale deployments in third world countries are a testament to this fact. The GNOME developers are hardly resting on their laurels, however. Work on GNOME 2.8 has already begun. Many new, exciting, and useful feature additions are planned. I am looking forward to increased use of SVG for graphics, as well as the inclusion of Evolution and Rhythmbox in the base desktop. Many other enhancements will be sure to come." Story (Submitted by Noel Thu Jun 24, 2004 ) |
