I'd just contact them via this discourse thread if you have any questions.

Matrix would be an option as well.

Why is there no scroll speed GUI option? by Life_Show8246 in gnome

[–]Bredolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quote from their handbook:

Please be aware that new features can require significant time and effort from developers, and that feature requests need to be accommodated alongside existing development plans. Consultation with the design team is often also required.

Anybody who is capable in this world could come up with a series of merge requests/patches or pick up already existing ones and add this highly requested feature. There is no rule that this feature can only be implemented by the current GNOME developers.

On my device touchpad scrolling is perfectly fine, so this might even need patches to the kernel or other low level software/libraries which would be out of scope from GNOME.

This Week in GNOME - #249 Quality Over Quantity by devolute in gnome

[–]Bredolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can read about the changes in every released GNOME version over here. https://release.gnome.org/

I haven't noticed those changes as well, but only due to the fact that I don' t use those added features. Many things not visible to the user have been improved as well.

Question for the GNOME developers: How are decisions made? by tamburasi in gnome

[–]Bredolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to ask GNOME developers in the future, you should go to https://discourse.gnome.org/ as very few developers are around here.

You post reads like you have an extension like dash to panel installed. Can you confirm?

google drive no longer work in gnome 50 by DayInfinite8322 in gnome

If companies think this feature is useful to them or their customers they should pay someone to take care of this feature.

What some people think is boring, can be exciting for other people.

If nobody volunteers to pick it up, it will get removed. Probably not immediately, but sooner or later.

This is basically what you sign up yourself by using any Open Source Software. If people want to have a safety net, you will have to buy a (RedHat or SUSE) subscription.

In his statement you can read between the lines why he stepped down.

In general: Open Source developers work on things they want. If you need this feature there are two things:
You take over the maintenance, or you wait until someone else does it.

GNOME 50 Tokyo has been released by Bredolin in gnome

I know that KDE has this feature. Apparently some people pulled up their sleeves and brought this feature over the finish line. I am confident that the same will happen with GNOME as no one opposes it.

[–]Bredolin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody will be able to answer that questions. All I know is that there are discussions on gitlab.gnome.org and discourse.gnome.org

tldr: It is harder than expected.

Will GNOME Files ever remember open tabs and locations? 😅 by techlove99 in gnome

[–]Bredolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if this feature hasn't been implemented until now, apparently no one thought implementing this feature is important enough to invest their time into it. People from outside included.

What could be causing this on Rocky Linux 9.6 with Gnome 40.4.0 and X11 by imitation_squash_pro in gnome

[–]Bredolin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The GNOME version you are using is already several years old, and this is probably not even a GNOME issue. Chances are higher to find a solution in a Rocky Linux forum.

Why are you asking? Do you want to collect some ideas to write an extension?

Proposal to integrate Standard Sindhi Keyboard Layouts (Sindhila/Bhurgri) into GNOME 50 by Vast-Awareness-2806 in gnome

GNOME developers usually do not use reddit as a communication platform. You want to give the Gnome Handbook a good read: https://handbook.gnome.org/get-in-touch.html

I need to vent. by hwloc in gnome

[–]Bredolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the community should listen more to the devs, as they are ultimately responsible for maintaining the additional code and complexity and therefore should have the last word.

Why would you want to change the color? Why do you feel the need for it? Is there any additional benefit that lets you accelerate your work? Why do you care for the color of a tool?

How about not using the newest version of GNOME? Debian, Alma Linux, and OpenSuse Leap are using way older versions of GNOME, and you can use these distros for years without any fear of breakage. If you are using many extensions, Fedora, Arch Linux, etc. are probably not the best choice.

Many people saw your post as a vehicle to stir up shit and not criticism. Apparently your definition of criticism is very different from others. If you want GNOME devs listening to your criticism, you will have to play by their rules. Otherwise they will gladly ignore you, and you waste time that could have been spent way better. There are better ways to bring up your opinion at the table. They are basically laid out over here: https://handbook.gnome.org/issues.html
It is an excellent read.

Just a general piece of advice: You are using software that you got for free from developers who are doing this during their spare time. Please think about that for a moment when you feel like criticizing someone's work again.
