To solve this we have done an interview with some of the people Sun have working on GNOME. The topics discussed include the background for Sun choosing GNOME, Accessibility, Useability and more.

  1. Commercial involvement != Better by Macka · · Score: 2, Insightful


    Having a commercial player on your team does not automaticly mean success. Hell, take a look a CDE. That had ALL the commercial Unix players involved, and they threw 10's of millions of dollars at it, though I think a lot of that money got swallowed up in meetings and red tape between the vendors.

    A programmer writing something because his heart and soul is in it does a better job than one who's motivation is the next month pay cheque.
