Comment Revolutionary ? (Score 1) 782

Wow, so it kills even more people? that's revolutionary! What about a really revolutionary weapon, that gets a banana inside a hungry person, all he just have to do is open his mouth "Fly over Ethiopia, "There's a guy that needs a banana." "Shooooooooooooom" the Stealth Banana Smart Fruit!" (Bill Hicks)

Submission + - KDE Vs Gnome in Development? (kidsil.net)

Asaf.Zamir writes: I started searching through small projects of Gnome (Tasque, Tomboy, Glipper)
and I was sad to see that a lot of them are less than active.
Now, as for comparison, I searched a couple of KDE projects and things are very different.

Klipper for instance, is a very active project in KDE.
Also, it seems that Gnome’s website is actually hiding the small projects,
it’s almost as if they are trying to kill them on purpose.

I think that small projects can die like flies in the open source world.
Especially because usually there’s one developer
so if he can’t contribute anymore, the software usually dies.

I think the most important thing is to open up easier contribution systems
right from the Gnome website, making it easier to give and get feedback.

All these issues seem relatively known to the public, but for some reason are not addressed.
I don’t want Gnome Apps to lose community, but they might if this continues.

From personal experience, the thing that I felt really lacking is the social aspect of studying with people. Basically, you are on your own, but it's not just a course or something like that. It's your entire day passing by without contacting fellow students and studying together. I found it very difficult, perhaps some people won't.
