A KDE developer tipped me off to a recent thread discussed in the kde-core-devel mailing list regarding interoperability between KDE and Gnome. OSNews featured an interview with the usability experts from Gnome and KDE a few days ago and we expected that the spirit of co-operation would continue to get stronger every day. Luckily this is true regarding most of these developers, but not for all of them are sharing it. Here is a commentary on the issue followed by a summary of the long thread.

>Some do not want to see any cooperation or shared specs between the desktops.
This is exactly what I want.
> I am not one of them. However, others are hoping to merge the two desktops.
This is NOT what I want. NEITHER Red Hat wants that. Read Havoc's article again please the one he speaks about Choice and Fragmentation. He outlines it fine there.
> They view interoperability and integration to be king. I am not one of them either. RedHat and Eugenia are.
No, this is not nullifying. This is what you just said: "interoperability and integration". This is NOT merging.
I think this is where all your understanding problems lie Adam. You don't understand the levels of changes that need to be done. You *think* that KDE won't be KDE anymore and Gnome won't be Gnome anymore. This is wrong. You are overreacting I guess.
