Why Can’t We Just Learn To Get Along?

October 27, 2003 10:34 am General

I guess I’ve always been the impatient type, getting frustrated, yet expecting things to happen. Just like that. It seems all too easy to forget how GNOME works, and how that it relies on the JFDI principle. I was casually browsing developer.gnome.org and www.gnome.org with a view to finish off the contacts page on foundation.gnome.org. Even with our lovely new look, it’s easy to forget how much our content really sucks. It’s not badly written, it’s just old. Real old.

Suddenly I found myself taking a page at a time, gradually trying to improve the content. I just wonder how effective it would be if we all grouped together and spent a week concentrating on that effort. I guess it’s a thankless task, and a rather frustrating one trying to figure out the tangled mess of links, articles, tutorials, whitepapers and guides. With a few updates here and there, all a bit too random, I decided to concentrate on ‘Joining the GNOME Project’ – it certainly seems one of the more important documents that we have online.

So now I have this grand vision – that I will go to sleep, and people will read this blog, and see this link that I have started on, and send me patches. It’s not there yet, but it can be. You decide.
