Hello,

I'd like to start a discussion about the use of gobby for the UWN. I
see that working with gobby has some advantages, though I see some
problems, too. Personally, I'd prefer that the uwn stays on the wiki
only, because

* Some people can't access gobby at all due to port restriction of
their internet account (myself I've been having this problem lately)

* Porting the UWN to gobby means that people have to install the
application and also to learn to use it. This complicates the
participation and may be a barrier especially for new users (e.g. who
just learned how to use a wiki). I think that keeping the process of
UWN as simple as possible would be the better solution.

* Kubuntu users have to install a lot of gnome-libraries if they want
to contribute (this is not to start a flame about kde vs. gnome,
personally I have installed gobby, but I know from others that they
don't want to use it due to that reason).

What do you think about it? Are there more advantages than the
problems I listed and would you like to keep gobby? And if yes, do you
have proposals to eliminate those problems?

Regards,

Mirjam
