GNOME has Forked
July 22, 2004 1 Comment
It appears that, with little fanfare, the GNOME project now has a fork. From the Project GoneME page:
“Project GoneME is the first attempt to try moving the GNOME Desktop into a new direction. As a long years contributor and ex-GNOME Foundation member I got quite unhappy with the new direction that some core decision takers have chosen without further feedback with the community or their participants. Even if I do see that plenty of things that got changed in GNOME does indeed make sense but some other decisions have upset quite a lot of people including me and there was no possibility to bring these problems up on the GNOME Mailinglists or the IRC channel without getting yourself trapped into ugly discussions and slandering. The unfair behaviour caused the result that a lot of people changed the Desktop to KDE or simply switched to something entirely different.”

I remeber one of the reasons I don't use gnome anymore (besides it's bloated for my tastes) was the spatial nautilus. To go into a deep directory I would have 7 windows to close. The other complaints on the site seems reasonable
