Yeah, I'm tired too :(

I think galeon 1 ui was not that bad. At least a lot better than mozilla.
But I had to fight to make it so ;)
I think also that galeon 2 ui is a good improvement (I dont think I'm alone).
The problem is that from what we have now we would probably go in opposite
directions ...

I think you are really wrong here :( Galeon development history has ever
been a battle between someone fighting for a simpler ui (removing prefs,
some features ...) and someone fighting for a more technical, complex ui.
There has been no change in the target user base. As I explicied my target,
you did it now
But our directions have ever conflicted.
>I am a bit unmotivated.
I'm very unmotivated, even to try a simple/advanced user thing.
If you guys feel like it please go ahead and make galeon 2 what you want
it to be. I'm happy to do a step back if it's going to help.
I can keep mantaining galeon until I feel it good for my user tastes, then
I guess I'll just use phoenix, if they does a good work :)

I'm not sure if I understand this. Did I ever state something like that
? I remember you joined at very beginning so I may have forgot it.
Personally I think mozilla sucks, XUL or not. Even mozilla hackers understood
it ...
