IMHO, gnome-list should continue to address global issues, like
which models to use (document models... database
implementations... etc.). It also seems to be a good place to
ask the more in-depth developer-type questions, like how is
so-and-so API supposed to work (and how should it)? Patches,
too. Plenty of stuff to talk about here. (c:

Nope, just graphics and visual appearance. We may need to come
up with a better name for this one.

Even if he was, I still think it's a good idea -- even if it's
never used. It'd be real nice to be able to say "take it
outside, pal" when things get out of hand (as they have recently
on the gui-list). Although maybe a name change, gnome-misc or
gnome-talk, would be better. gnome-flame almost begs people to
go there and just shout.
