Hello everybody!
Just an opinion from a simple user w/o big programming/configuration skills to
the desktop discussion: I like the design of Gnome 2 very much and am grateful,
that the MATE developers took the work to continue it.
I absolutely do not want to devalue the also noteworthy work from

Dear Debian Community,
This is a personal email, and as such I speak only for myself; I would like
to state following regarding a potential inclusion of MATE in Debian:
#1 freeze - I totally agree that the freeze should be respected, and I
personally support Debian in enforcing such rule;
#
I strongly support inclusion of MATE.
Why not packaging GNOME 2 directly?
GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 are not parallel installable. And MATE renamed binaries.
Why not GNOME Fallback?
It is dropped in GNOME 3.8
It is indeed different from GNOME 2, though non-heavy users may not
notice the difference.
It i
It is so unfortunate that this matter has become so emotional. No
wonder. The gnome people worked so hard to create what they believe to
be even better desktop. And Linux community's response was
overwhelmingly negative (including public and rather outspoken
statements by major Linux developers

Some news about the inclusion of MATE in Debian official repositories?
The good-old Gnome 2 is still a great solution for a lot of people and i
think that Debian must have a desktop like this in main repositories.
I see that MATE is not just a repackaging of Gnome 2, it has new features

Hello,
I would like to support the inclusion of MATE in Debian. While I'm not
sure whether MATE is ready yet for the inclusion in Debian due to the
aforementioned issues (plus the MATE Debian packages aren't aware
of Multi-Arch), I am confident that bringing MATE to Debian would be a
wise choice.
I do not have anything specifically against Gnome3's UI.
While different, I could probably accommodate it. The problem with
Gnome3 is that a year after it took over (in Debian testing) ass the
main DE, I still can't use it. Not because my hardware is not
supported, but because its unreliable (loc

Is this said from experience??? I have no problem using gnome apps

I agree with Josselin here. There is no point in forking gconf and other
libraries. Even worse, this will increase the incompatibility between
different desktops. For example, an app making use of "gconftool-2" will
not work when there's "mateconftool-2" in the system instead.

I strongly agree with Dave, we should not wait to solve this
I'd like to support the proposal to package MATE.
While I agree there is code duplication, that's obviously something that
will take some time to remove, however I also believe it's important
not to wait until it's cleaned.
