Re: ANN: GWorkspace 0.6.5

[Chad Hardin]

I think that there is a lot of potential for Backbone.  For instance, 
GWorkspace wants to do some volume management.  However, What if 
instead we had frameworks for:

DBUS
HAL (as was mentioned earlier)
and something similar to the gnome-volume-manager ( 
http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/ProjectUtopiaBuildDebian )

in Backbone.  Now, Enrico does not really need to have to worry about 
it as much and GWorkspace stays cleaner.  Also, there is a nice 
foundation of software for everyone to use for all kinds of other stuff 
as well.

Backbone has a lot of potential.  So, Nicholas and the other members of 
the backbone project.  I applaud you for your foresight.  I would like 
to join your project and work on things like the above.
