http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspxI came across this rant about feature requests in Gnome. I have to confess a sense of siding with the OSS developers on this one. The author of the editorial doesn't get into full swing until she quotes the following statement from the Gnome web siteen-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#9790169Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:24:40 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9790169 Buggin My Life Away OSS and Deaf Developers | debt solutions<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://debtsolutionsnow.info/story.php?id=8180">http://debtsolutionsnow.info/story.php?id=8180</a></p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9790169" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#9782137Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:42:50 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9782137 Buggin My Life Away OSS and Deaf Developers | porch swing<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://fancyporchswing.info/story.php?id=3119">http://fancyporchswing.info/story.php?id=3119</a></p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9782137" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#9767785Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:22:42 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9767785 Buggin My Life Away OSS and Deaf Developers | alternative dating<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://topalternativedating.info/story.php?id=1384">http://topalternativedating.info/story.php?id=1384</a></p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9767785" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#9766485Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:10:59 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9766485 Buggin My Life Away OSS and Deaf Developers | low cost car insurance<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://lowcostcarinsurances.info/story.php?id=4296">http://lowcostcarinsurances.info/story.php?id=4296</a></p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9766485" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#9750125Sun, 14 Jun 2009 14:52:04 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9750125 Buggin My Life Away OSS and Deaf Developers | garden statues<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://gardenstatuesgalore.info/story.php?id=1611">http://gardenstatuesgalore.info/story.php?id=1611</a></p> <img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9750125" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#559101Thu, 23 Mar 2006 20:36:15 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:559101The Blog of Justice » FOSS and the Handicapped (Part 2)PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://blog.strafenet.com/2006/03/23/foss-and-the-handicapped-part-2/">http://blog.strafenet.com/2006/03/23/foss-and-the-handicapped-part-2/</a><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=559101" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#558890Thu, 23 Mar 2006 17:00:26 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:558890The Old New ThingWhat people ask for and what they want are not always the same thing.<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=558890" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#403484Tue, 29 Mar 2005 23:58:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:403484Buggin' My Life Away<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=403484" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#403483Tue, 29 Mar 2005 23:58:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:403483Buggin' My Life Away<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=403483" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rick_schaut/archive/2005/03/12/394480.aspx#399350Sun, 20 Mar 2005 15:30:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:399350Rick SchautRoy, <br> <br>No slight was intended. As I've mentioned in other comments in this thread, the issue is really a matter of having the resources available to conduct market research.
