[Gossip-dev] Nokia released Mission Control

[Jerry Haltom]

Though this may be a bit too obvious, perhaps somebody who CARES enough
about this issue, and cares enough to dedicate time to it, could
simply... well... do something.

If somebody wants to break Gossip apart to make it more fitting for the
desktop he envisions, just do it. Eventually, if he's right, he'll gain
everybody's support. Or he won't. Only time will tell.

I'm sure everybody will assist this persons efforts the best they can.

Personally I think the telepathy approach is the "right" long term
approach. I think having a bunch of really useful reusable widgets and
interconnected pieces for IM-ish stuff is the "right" approach. Would
the result of this effort even be called Gossip anymore? I have no idea.

But I hold no expectations that my words alone will convince anybody on
this board or any others that that is true. Only actions can do that.
