Assalam alykom, Personally I voted for Unity, but we can not ignore the poll result based on our own reviews! most of the community chooses Gnome 3. and it is on the website home page and every one can see it. if we go with a choice that was not the choice of the community we will lose our credibility and we can not do this!
Pleas take the time to think of this again and I believe we HAVE to go with the community choice! Jazakom allah kaeran wa barak allh fekom...
