  1. Tizen and EFL by pavon · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Your work at Samsung involves making EFL a great library for designing touch-based interfaces for use in a future Linux-based smartphone platform, presumably Tizen. But every time I've heard about Tizen in the press Samsung has made a big deal about HTML5 being the development platform. How do these two development platforms play together? Also can you provide any information about when we can expect to see the first Tizen phones hitting the US?

  2. Wayland? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As one of the few non-minimal DE projects out there, what do you guys think of Wayland? From a leader's standpoint, is it relevant? From a designer standpoint, are you looking forward to working with a newer API? From a user standpoint, do you think it will be better enough than X to be justified?

  3. Re:Why does your website use unreadable blue text by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    Every now and then I check out the enlightenment.org website, because I want to see screenshots of it in action.
    For some reason, I don't think there is a link /anywhere/ to the screenshots.
    In case anyone else is interested, there /are/ screenshots on the website; they are here:
