An anonymous reader writes "The plethora of Free Software applications available today, none working perfectly, is a problem which stands in the way of major adoption of Linux on the desktop. In order to conquer the desktop, we have to stand united. Read the article on Freshmeat."

  1. One good point by nath_o_brien · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Most of the article seemed to be space-filler but one good point I have to agree with is

    Sourceforge should start removing projects with less than 1% activity for the last six months (every week, they could propose several projects to be removed, and allow a month for the activity to increase)

    I'm sick of so many going-nowhere projects cluttering up the categories. Most were probably a spark of an idea that didn't go anywhere - and never will - because its originator has decided to concentrate their attention elsewhere.

    It should be a case of good housekeeping on Sourceforge's behalf if nothing else.
