> Ce qui me fait peur c'est la phrase "it would be an error to do GNOME 3.0 without any big user-visible change".
Prise isolément ça fait peur.
Mais (désolé de citer tout ça) :
There were thoughts that GNOME could stay with the 2.x branch for a very long time given our solid development methods, but that it was not the future that our community wants to see happening. Because of lack of excitement. Because of lack of vision.
...
Let's first diverge a bit and discuss the general impression that GNOME is lacking a vision.
If you look closely at our community, it'd be wrong to say that people are lacking a vision; but the project as a whole does indeed have this issue.
...
But during the 2.x cycle, with our six months schedules, it appeared that everything (community, development process, etc.) was just working very well, and as the vision got more and more fulfilled, the long-term plans became less important as we focused on polishing our desktop. But we've now reached a point where our next steps should be moving to another level, and those next steps require important decisions. This is part of what the Release Team should do. Please note that Release Team members don't have to be the ones who have the vision; we "just" have to be the voice of the community.
...
Our community has historically been strong on the development side, but we have always struggled to promote GNOME. That's because this is certainly no easy task. Our user base has however grown significantly since our project started, and we failed to recruit people that could have helped here. GNOME 3.0 is an opportunity to change this and attract contributors that can help forge the communication around the GNOME project. The promotion of the project is definitely part of what makes a good release
...
One common issue that often came up when discussing how to promote GNOME was that promoting the desktop as a whole is difficult. But there's no need to do that. We can instead focus our messaging around the GNOME experience: the basic GNOME experience simply is the GNOME Shell
C'est dans ce contexte qu'il faut comprendre la phrase. Ce n'est pas faire un changement seulement à cause d'un numéro.
Je ne dis pas que tu as tord sur les changements proposés (je ne connais pas les changements qui sont prévus pour Gnome 3).
