A few weeks ago we published an article titled "
The Great Mac OS X 10.4 Wish List", detailing a few personal wishes for the next version of OSX. Later I learned that quite a few Apple engineers read the article and so it felt good that the time spent writing the article was not just a voice in the void. A reader emailed me a few days ago asking me to do the same for other OSes and DEs. So here is my personal wish-list for a future version of
Gnome. Please tell us about your own Gnome wish list in the comment section provided.
As much as I love gaim, it lacks some important features:
first of all: file transfers. As of now - they don't exist at all! Why not use some code from the licq/amsn apps, and just implement it under the gaim UI?
other things, which I consider minor, but still worth mentioning: contacts in ICQ, and Images in MSN.
On a totally different term, I think GNOME should also consider making more microsoft things work - I don't mean Internet Explorer, but it'd be nice if for instance one could use GnomeMeeting to connect to users of Windows Messenger, and so on. Even though the codecs are proprietary, people that own them should be allowed to use them in an easy way.
oh, and BUGS BUGS BUGS!
