With all these words, you don't define any single, concrete problem with windows as they are. You don't make much of a case for using another metaphor for the same thing, as there are no obvious candidates that don't already mean lots of things in varying contexts. You avoid any talk about their properties and behaviors. A call for transparency because of the name is silly. If windows wouldn't be called windows but frobknacks, suddenly transparency wouldn't be of value? You also do not define anything to gain. If you want to discuss things to discuss things, this is a great start. Now I fully expect a backlash because this mail might be seen as not nice, getting personal. Well, what is not nice and not OK from my point of view is seeing a list that should serve some purpose flooded with lots of talk that is not in any way actionable or on a path to get there ... with one sender of such mails sticking out of the mass by frequency and quantity. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
