FWIW - not much probably - anything that pushes towards "gui-completeness" is a good step. We have fantastic gui tools that complement the awesome cli UI, and we have some complete-ish GUIs, but the git-cheetah and Eclipse tracks are lacking. Work on those is needed - whether money can help I do not know. However, not many people work on polishing smooth UIs for love and fun. cheers, martin -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
