Well, I am trying my best to get your point. What I was talking about
is, _forking_ GWorkspace
and put it in Etoile (I think you missed another character, there are
at least2 weird characters i believe).

>It is certainly frustrating as hell to develop an application for
years, receiving little comments on it and then be presented with some
kind of planned "paradigm shift" and be constantly bombarded not by
wishlist items, criticism or bug reports, but with permanent talk
about a "good alternative".

I didn't mentioned any rewriting though. But since Enrico was bored
_directly_ by my
discussion about an unexisting project (which IMHO, exists) and
decided to depart
his project because of that at lease for a part of his reason. I feel
I have every right
to talk about forking and future improvements, or even a rewrite
although I didn't really
want that.

I believe it is my responsibility to reply to his mail which was
clearly pointing at me.
But trust me I didn't intend to counter-attack him in any aspect since
I hardly see
why should I get involved in this in first place, hence, I fail to
construct any basis
to start further discussion. So I tried to make one now by making any
possibility
to create collaboration between GWorkspace and Etoile in future.
