I've got a problem with the Firefox Plugin. I know it was made for FF3.0, and it worked greatfully since i installed FF3.5. There's a way to index FF3.5's bookmarks? Thanks. Hello everybody!

Has my task list been that full for THAT long? Thanks for the mention, Dave. @Tim Fuchs: I have to disagree with you on Docky making Do a must have. For me it's just the opposite since I've been an AWN user for a while. For me Docky is a duplication of a dock like AWN or other docks. For others it may be what helps GNU/Linux users love docks, but when I tried Docky it was still new enough to lack some of the feature I love in AWN. But that's the beauty of FOSS. We're free to use the apps we eacg love while passing on things we can do without. Damn, I can’t believe it took me this long to go back and read Dave’s post.

That could've saved me a lot of time :-) Hey,

I am speaking about only those that have a visual appearence. There are great projects like the linux kernel,X window system etc... but this one is very close to the user and that makes it beautiful. I believe as your are the main developer. Do not force it into ubuntu yourself. I am sure people will do that for you. Gnome do is really a great program. The only problem it would be backed from inclusion in ubuntu would be Mono. Gnome do is very precise and beautiful program that I have ever seen in the open source software world.

I've always liked Do, but now with docky the software advance from a nice-to-have to an essential part of the desktop for me. Now that you work for Canonical, are there any plans to include Do in the default Ubuntu desktop? I have mixed feelings about the current direction Gnome is going. On the one hand, I really like the whole under the hood stuff like PolicyKit, WebKit and the consolidation of GTK, but I am rather worried about the user interface developement, especially the Shell. Maybe I am wrong and it will rock, in fact I hope so, but if it doesn't, Ubuntu should have an alternative plan, and Do is definitely something worth investigating IMO. Ubuntu has shown in the past that it won't blindly take upstream but rethink certain things, like the new awesome notifications. I hope this way thinking will continue in the future. Apart from that, rock on with Do and patch the paper cuts! Great to see this new release.
