    Bonobo is the GNOME component framework. Gnumeric and Evolution both make heavy use of Bonobo components, which can be reused to solve new problems in the future.

  3. Ximian taking over GNOME development? by Karma+Sucks · · Score: 4
    Ximian ( in conjunction with several honorary monkeys ) is happy to announce that yet a new, and excitingly stable Bonobo has just been released.

    Hey, did anyone else notice this from the announcement? If I were a GNOMiE (full disclosure: I'm not), I would find that a tad worrisome. Even Red Hat did not do this when they controlled GNOME and came under big fire for immoral practices, but now Ximian is basically trying to 0wn the GNOME brand. GNOME == Ximian GNOME.

    But that's not true. GNOME == (Ximian GNOME - Ximian services, logos, ads, propaganda). GNOME is a community project but is basically being hijacked by companies trying to make a buck. Eazel has already taken over the GNOME shell with the much balley-hooed Nautilus.

    Surely the GNOME community should take action and halt this downward spiral? What happened to the admirable GNOME spirit of by the hackers for the hackers?

    Bonobo is a set of language and system independant CORBA interfaces for creating reusable components and creating compound documents. The Bonobo distribution includes a GTK+ based implementation of the Bonobo interfaces, enabling developers to create reusable components and applications that can be used to form more complex documents.
