Gnome GUADEC conference [--] setting the direction for Gnome 3.0 - heise open source UK - 0 views

  • Gnome 3.0, the next major release of the Unix and Linux desktop, was one of the conference's main topics.

  • Gnome co-founder Frederico Mena-Quintero concentrated on the traditional document-centred desktop. Whilst users have no problems with emails, chat or music, they often have trouble finding their documents. Rather than a folder view, he espouses a journal, which shows documents sorted chronologically. According to Mena-Quintero, the idea is nothing new, but with a sensible GUI and in tandem with functions such as tags, it could offer significant improvements for users.
