Hello, MATE developers! Anybody home?

Hello, MATE developers! Anybody home?

Yeah, I totally get it. Development does not like distractions. You in your ivory tower do not want to be pestered with those pesky bug reports or feature requests. But when you type away and get no feedback from your users you risk developing something that does not work, as is the case with MATE.

Actually, folks, you never tested your touchscreen functionality, and you do not know that a touch of MATE desktop positions the mouse cursor 1/2" to the right and 1/4" down versus the finger position. This makes it impossible to point at UI elements along the left and bottom edges of the screen. But who cares? You clearly do not.

The thing is that you have totally insulated yourselves from your quite faithful user base, by not having a bug tracker, forum, or other means of contacting you. Your IRC channel is dead. End of the road. Congratulations!
