F8 Build Up - Interview 2

[Jonathan Roberts]

Hey all,

Just to let you know I've put the second interview of the feature 
preview series up:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Interviews/MartinSourada

This one's about Nodoka, the new default theme making its debut in 
Fedora 8 Test 2 and is a good read...

If you think it's an interesting read, or just want to help Fedora get a 
bit of extra attention, visit Digg and give it your vote (it would be 
hugely appreciated :p):

Enjoy!

Missing developer box. I believe we actually shipped with Blue Curve as 
the default theme before Clear looks was adopted by upstream GNOME. IIRC 
KDE was still shipping with that theme before switching to Plastik in 
the last release. So you might want to revise the early introduction.

Already did so. Posting to fedora forum too. Don't forget to notify 
other news websites and blog.

Oh shoot! I even thought about that this time - has been a bit of a bad 
day :S

Blogged - thanks for posting to the Forums too. I'll take a look at 
other news sites now.

Why is that sad? It's a standard forum practice to lock news posts to 
avoid spam.

This made it to digg front page...

Unfortunately, the comments aren't that positive but people must like it 
if we got 200+ diggs!

When Blue Curve came out the opinions were all over the place too. If we 
can get a KDE theme to match this, that would look good I think. We hit 
   a few places

I hit "digg" while rolling my eyes a bit. They'll get used to it and start
to love it
