Please forgive my first post here after lurking for many years being merely fanboy stuff, but I replaced my EeePC's OS with Ubuntu Netbook Remix and I've rarely been as happy with an OS replacement. While not perfect, it does a fantastic job of making optimal use of the smaller 1024x600 screen size, and performs admirably well on my netbook. Kudos to all who were involved in making that happen. > We also need to encourage developers to write applications that will > adapt better to running on netbooks and other non-desktop devices. > This will certainly be one of the themes of the new GNOME Human > Interface Guidelines, on which we're just getting started. I've been itching to contribute to this project since I first joined this list, and while spare time is rare perhaps I can assist with tech editing the netbook section of the new HIG as it comes together. What would be the best way for me to contribute to that? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [email protected] http://www.FourthWorld.com
