Doing nothing is hard work. It is difficult to keep ones mind busy, and to keep ones days from dragging on and on when one isn't doing anything. I've had a lot of experience with this in the past few weeks since I decided to take a break from working on Wootella. I've been investigating what I can do that won't be as time-consuming as Wootella but is still something of which I can be proud.
The GNOME Desktop has been making huge strides in making the Linux desktop more accessible. From usability improvements through the use of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines to the new "spatial" Nautilus, the default GNOME desktop is an awesome display of technologies that is also a pleasure to use.
