That depends largely +on resources available. By just be getting involved, you increase the +chance of it happening. +The control centre is also an area of interest, and already there are +various improvements being discussed and developed. One of many +improvements, the Mageia-appbd project, is in advanced stages of +development. It aims to make querying packages available (and +subsequently installing them) much easier. +You can see a sample of it here: +<A HREF="http://88.191.121.20/madb/mageia/index.php/package/list/distrelease/2/application/0/arch/1/source/0">http://88.191.121.20/madb/mageia/index.php/package/list/distrelease/2/application/0/arch/1/source/0</A> +As you can see, it is already usable, and under active development. +Here is the projet's home page: +<A HREF="http://mageia-app-db.tuxette.fr/projects/mageia-app-db/wiki">http://mageia-app-db.tuxette.fr/projects/mageia-app-db/wiki</A> + +As for the "Smart-Phone madness", as you put it, I couldn't agree more. +Being a Gnome user, that affects me directly, and although initially +Gnome will have the classic Gnome appearance available, who knows about +the future. There are other desktops which use much of the Gnome +infrastructure which will likely continue a more classic presentation. +As well, Mageia has KDE. We intend to keep supporting a wide range of +desktops. + +BTW, it would be interesting to know what exactly you don't like about +the Mageia Control Centre. The more feedback we have, the more we can +address any perceived weaknesses. In addition to the ideas we already +have, collectively. + +In all, since we are a community based distro, without an active +commercial interest, it is the participation of the community that +determines our direction. That includes any feedback we get from +observers such as yourself, but also more active involvement in +discussion, promotion, documentation, translation, packaging and +development, among other things. So any way you would like to +contribute will be appreciated. + +Regardes :-) + +-- +André + +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="005767.html">[Mageia-discuss] Is LTS still considered? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="005768.html">[Mageia-discuss] What's taking so long? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#5769">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#5769">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#5769">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#5769">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
