Re: Include GNOME Usage in the future releases

[Carlos Soriano <csoriano gnome org>]

Don't be discouraged, the app is looking good :)

I guess it's just a matter to open it to a wider world like you just
did, then once things settle down a bit ask to be released it as part
of GNOME. And I don't think is so far away from that, quite the
opposite. Just fixing the most obvious visual bugs + crashes and
having some tarball and package ready for people to try and is
probably ready to go as a preview.

I think that's what we did with other apps in the past. And if not,
would be nice to have that this time.

Best
