GNOME 2
Build a better desktop using only free software
“...GNOME has achieved its original goal. We reached a pointwhere we have a desktop environment that “Just Works” ...However, ... having a desktop environment that just works is not ... “enough” for our community and GNOME as a project.”
“...we haven’t been able to translate [our aspirations] into a clear direction for the project.”
Lucas Rocha, 9 June 2008
