In Wikipedia "citation needed" is added to prove a claim. Basically a reference to a study showing that in general GNOME developers give this answer and secondly that XFCE as well as KDE developers don't do this. I think it is somewhat normal to ask for more details. And I understand that proving a negative is difficult (XFCE/KDE), but that should still be possible (sampling of all the answers). > In this latter case, what would you do with the substantiation?

You make a judgement about GNOME developers, and when someone from GNOME asks for details, there are none. Glad you cleared that up for me :) -- Regards, Olav -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
