This is a suicide for Suse. Corporate users need to search in Evolution mail, IM messages, files, visited web pages and more in the same time. Only Beagle can do it, if upgraded and mantained. Beagle can do the difference on enterprise desktop. To leave it unmantained is stupid. Well, I think there are some stupids men in Novell (did someone say "Miguel"?), but I hope not so stupid. Monotouch can't be Novell core business.... --001636c5b7c0b4d77704742c6779 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <br><br><div class=3D"gmail_quote">2009/9/13 Joe Shaw <span dir=3D"ltr"><= ;<a href=3D"mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>></span><br><bloc= kquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, = 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Since I left Novell nearly<br> two years ago, there has been none. =A0I think it's safe to say that<br= > Novell no longer has any dedication to the project. =A0I don't mean tha= t<br> as a dig -- having worked on Ximian and SUSE distributions you have to<br> make strategic and tactical decisions where to put your resources,<br> since you can't hack full time on everything. =A0It appears clear that<= br> desktop search hasn't panned out as they thought and that experimental<= br> projects like Dashboard, Association Browser, etc. aren't feasible.<br>= </blockquote></div><br>Can Novell leave unmantained a piece of its desktop?= This is a suicide for Suse. <br>Corporate users need to search in Evolutio= n mail, IM messages, files, visited web pages and more in the same time.
