Maybe GNOME needs some Marketing?

[Simon Jefford <sjefford bigfoot com>]

I've just finished reading reviews of Suse 6.1 and Caldera 2.2 in PC Plus, an
English computing magazine. I'm not sure what it's like elsewhere but in
England there's now quite a few "mainstream" magazines devoting space to Linux,
which is great!

However it struck me reading these reviews that KDE was getting all the
limelight. Even a review of Redhat 6.0 had pictures of KDE rather than GNOME.
Now I'm not saying that we should be looking to "krush KDE" or anything like
that. What I am saying is that maybe we should be "pushing" GNOME a bit more so
that it gets the attention it deserves. We could also learn from what KDE is
doing right (the Windows-like PPP setup program springs to mind, as well as the
mailer) and incorporate those ideas into Gnome. Maybe sending the Gnome
software round a few well chosen magazines would help?
