Orphaned Desktop Environments
,----[ Quote ]
| First, and this is the gimmie conclusion, there's going to be a much
| stronger move to get the two major desktop environments (GNOME and KDE)
| to work with each other. The OSDL has the Portland Project, the
| much-needed collaborative project to get the two camps to start
| coding together. The FSG is all about standardization, since it's
| in their name. Or, at least it was. Now they're about
| "Foundation"--whatever that means.
