I shouldn't really be reporting this after all my GNOME bashing over the last few days But I always aim for an unbias news-grabbing policy (except when Micro$oft is concerned), so here it is: Source: GNOME Mailing lists Some people commented that the 2.15.1 announce contained too many exclamation marks in only one sentence. Now, this is an important thing to fix. It's true (is it?!?) that we need (do we?!?) to write good announcements, that are readable by everyone. That's why I propose to write them in French, a language that everyone should know and that is really easy to learn (really, you just have to remember about some thousands of exceptions). Ceci n'est absolument pas une conspiration francophone. D'ailleurs, ni Frédéric, ni Sébastien, ni Daniel, ni quiconque d'autre n'est au courant. Je profite de cette annonce pour proposer d'utiliser le Français comme langue par défaut dans GNOME dès sa prochaine version, sauf opposition d'au moins une personne. On ne pourra pas dire que je n'ai pas essayé ;-) This is our second development release on our road towards GNOME 2.16.0, which will be released in September 2006. GNOME 2.15.2 works well and you should definitely try it to see how well it works. So go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.
