Gnome answers Linux critics with 'big' vision plan

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/03 ... _april_09/


The Gnome Foundation has laid out a roadmap saying it's time to depart from incremental updates.

The team said it's realized it's not enough to simply organize a collection of individual sub-projects and that a project-wide roadmap is needed. Gnome is the default environment of Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu, and initially the goal was for a version 2.30.0 - that will now become 3.0 due next March.

Responding to growing criticism of Gnome's "lack of vision," the team said its 3.0 release will focus not only on streamlining the platform, but "revamping the user experience."
