Firefox users who seem to hate the idea of Iceweasel (based on what I
gather from their meeting notes). There seem to be some preconceptions
about what happens when you remove the branding. No conclusive data
can be provided to indicate how much users Firefox brings the distro.
Actually, I generally use epiphany.
I also don't appreciate the comment at the meeting about
"non
contributing" members on the mailing list complaining about this
issue. It's an argument often used to ignore people with valid
arguments who also don't happen to have a computer science degree.
Some of us advocate Fedora and that in itself is a contribution.
Fedora consists of volunteers in many areas, not all of them make
packages or write code.
I should point out that my degrees are in biology and biology, and the
one that I haven't quite got yet is in biology.
