It looks extremely minimalistic. If the point is only to remove a few dependencies then I'm not sure it's such a great idea. Besides, Parole is being developed quite fast, and already has a decent set of features. There are a few things that I dislikein Parole's GUI (don't have them in mind though), but I think a discussion about these with Parole's author could get them sorted out. He is a nice developer and very attentive to comments from downstream users. <div class="gmail_quote">2010/1/1 J.

Just curious as to what others thought of it in general, maybe expose it to others who may be interested in the project. Parole does seem interesting, I'll have to look into it more. On a pretty non-important note, I severely dislike their icon/logo.. <div> <div class="h5"> - J -- xubuntu-devel mailing list <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div> -- Steve Dodier Student at École Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Bourges Free Software Developer OpenPGP : 1B6B1670 </blockquote> Dear Steve, do not top-post :P <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Pasi Lallinaho Xubuntu Marketing Lead Web-designer, graphic artist IRC: knome @ freenode </pre> </body> </html>
