Project GoneME Fixes Perceived Gnome UI Errors

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 25, 2004 @03:37AM from the frustration-outlet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Project GoneME is the first attempt to try moving the GNOME Desktop into a new direction. The intention is to create a community of people, who are willing and interested to help fixing issues brought up by people for a very long time and make the vision of a usable Desktop in the means of good old Unix fashion become true. In case you are interested to help, please join the project. Plenty of people have shown interest and welcome this step and the IRC channel got filled up within a short time." Update: 07/26 02:33 GMT by T : A project mailing list has been set up for anyone interested in taking part in this endeavor.

"Without the extensions it's a below par browser to Internet Explorer"

How so?

Mozilla - out of the box, xhtml, css1, most css2, mail, composer, chatzilla, popup-blocking.

In what way is it "below par"?

Share a "secret" with you?

Right click on a folder, and select "Browse Folder." All of the sudden you have a tree view. The best of both worlds are available without changing a single setting. :-)
