The first to give me good informations on SparkleShare will win a free copy of MonoDevelop. http://www.sparkleshare.org/

The rationale is pretty much the same of what we seen in my the proposal: the general user doesn’t use it its user-interface is too complex …
Fedora’s new little friend
Straight from the release notes of the recently released Fedora 12: Gnote is installed by default in GNOME for this release replacing Tomboy.

Ubuntu – Mono = Chicken
Jo Shields has been kind enough to provide an Ubuntu (9.04) remix without Mono apps. This is done by simply removing (without replacing in anyway) the offending packages.

One thing nobody told you about Mono
I can’t really go on vacation without the world reminding me the day later how much I was right. Just a few days later my dead easy 1 step proposal for Mono here it is, here we go. So nice, really. This is not the end, and many concerns are still there, but I see it as a small step forward. And an important one. Also, not even time to beg Linux distributions to split …

Hands off the Gimp
Really, you wouldn’t dare.. rickspencer3 proposes pulling the gimp from the CD: It takes up a lot of space that we need for couchdb, etc… F-Spot has key features, like crop and red-eye removal It’s a power user tool, users shouldn’t stumble into it Discussion points brought up that The gimp currently uses 26 megs of space, 20 of which are documentation, which could be moved online The gimp, though not totally user friendly, is …

In a thread on the ubuntu-devel mailing list, where Danny Picirillo asked to consider replacing Tomboy with Gnote, a long discussion followed. Ultimately Mackenzie brought up some points that the Gnote developer, Hubert Figuiere felt needed to be answered. I’ll copy paste Hub’s reply for your delight.
