Feature changed by: ursan marius bogdan (creatura85) Feature #312946, revision 3 Title: Mate repo for openSUSE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: ursan marius bogdan (creatura85) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Around the world users still like the Gnome 2 DE. Gnome2 has forked now in to Mate DE https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment , so i think that beside a kde3 repo, a Mate repo for Gnome2 users of openSUSE is needed. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The Mate repo can be used by users who cant run Gnome3 or for users that don`t like Gnome3 bu still like Gnome2, old school look. Discussion: #1: Ilya Chernykh (ansus) (2011-11-13 02:37:52) Linux Mint reported 40% increase in user base due the fact they stick with Gnome 2. http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1847 + #2: ursan marius bogdan (creatura85) (2011-11-17 14:43:43) (reply to + #1) + That`s true, i wonder if this can boost openSUSE in popularity as well :) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312946
