The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

It's silly wording, I'd say... should read 'High level development tools'.

And yes, there is a lack of those... except for, say 'xforms' which is
rather slow.  Most of us here, know the difference between the program,
and the user interface to the program... and where the line is drawn.
But lets face it, for most users... even people who work around these
computers and should know, see the 'button' as the program.  And to
them the true programming is 'placing a button on a canvas'.  Those
aren't 'mature' development tools, but they _are_ high level front
ends to development tools

And GNU software is good... but some parts are still in the same steps
as they were years ago... and some are overdone, and not practical.

But, if Linux would come out standard with a high level motif like front
end, to its functions... that was implemented in a fast language (not in
script language), then the final shuffle for the DOS grave would have been
dug. :-)  I'd sure buy motif, rather than Win95... wouldn't you?
