GNOME Ignoring its Own Users?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the get-the-data dept.

Jonathan writes "Some editorials were posted on the web the last few days about GNOME and its apparent lack of interest on user feedback, especially when GNOME pitches itself to follow a 'users first philosophy' in their press releases. OSNews started with an editorial about market research or lack thereof, Expert-Zone posted another one on how OSS must learn to take responsibility on its great success."

    If I am going to code something for free, it is most likely going to be a feature that I personally want for my own good. Sure I will pass it on because it is the nature of OSS. Occasionally I may stroke my ego by throwing someone else a bone.

    What is so wrong with that?

    If the clock is not completely broken but is just way behind and stays that way, it will never show the correct time but the illusion that it is working. Draw the parallel between that and her on your own.

    Wont work. For one all the commands will be trying to execute at once before the other is finished.

    Unless I am wrong?

    I was just thinking about this the other day. I want to write a script that would mount my ntfs flashdrive and sync data from a directory. Problem is as I thought of a way to do this is that I need the script to wait while finishing a certain task.
