Thanksgiving Comes Early To Gnome Project

Ryan McDougall writes "Have you ever downloaded a new app, got that tingly feeling, and wanted to express your thanks to the developer that made it happen? Have you flamed a developer over some small issue, but would never consider using another app -- and you want them to know that? Is Gnome your favorite DE, and want to express your appreciation? There is a touching 'thanks-fest' going on at http://gnomedesktop.org/article.php?sid=1099&mode= &order=0&thold=1 . If you answered yes above, please stop by and leave your regards."

Re:not for GNOME 2

The move to Unicode is needed for internationalisation, and it's one area where Linux is far behind Windows and OSX. For example, try having a login where your full name is in maori or some arabic language. Like the html + browser arguments that rage about whose fault it is when pages don't render correctly, you can't say that it's the web browser at fault or that it's the HTML at fault - it's just that they don't like each other. Unicode isn't soley at fault, and software should be able to handle it. A text editor defaulting to utf-8 is reasonable though.
