Re: Platform for Developer Documentation
I think GDA must be considered, as a developer platform, because Anjuta depends on it. I think other projects may can take advantage of its features to save metadata, documents, history, etc. on database engines and share with others by using central servers or so. 2010/3/8 Alberto Ruiz ar...@gnome.org: 2010/3/8 Josselin Mouette j...@debian.org: Le dimanche 07 mars 2010 à 15:16 -0600, Shaun McCance a écrit : * PackageKit I don’t think we should consider PackageKit as a core development interface, but rather as an optional service. It doesn’t integrate properly with all distributions, and not all user setups make it useful, especially the largest installations. Release often, release early. The only way to improve support is to embrace it and push its adoption and get people to file bugs. * PulseAudio Maybe it’s (still) a little too early to consider it? Support for a wide range of hardware is still very poor as of kernel 2.6.32. Same here. I'm growing a bit sick of GNOME having to be in this limbo situation where it can't stick to any technology because downstream distributions choose not to ship some components by default. PackageKit and PulseAudio are two projects that are pretty well aligned with the GNOME platform in terms of API technology and goals, they solve hard problems to solve, they don't have any real contenders (yes they have problems, but if we wait until they are perfect, we will never have a platform). So my take on this is, embrace those, help downstream to embrace them, but let's not hold back or we will end up with a half arsed platform that tries to solve everyone's problems and will end up solving no one's. Furthermore, if you want to consider hardware support, maybe you can talk about GUdev? It’s still Linux-specific, but currently it is the way to go. -- .''`.

How to make GNOME better for Netbooks?
Hi, I'm looking how to make GNOME better for users of small screen Netbooks (7). I have numerous users with7 screen netbooks and stock GNOME is almost unusable on such a system, that is why I'm looking for some help to make the GNOME experience on such systems better. Is there any work being done on making Notification Area applet better? I found http://live.gnome.org/AlternativeNotificationsUI but last comment there is back from 2008, it this project dead? Is there any alternative to Notification Area that makes hiding some icons possible? Some users have pointed at an alternative to Windows list applet called DockbarX, and from what I have seen it looks promising. Do you have some examples and guidelines how to customize GNOME for Netbooks? Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.

Re: GtkNotebook scrolling usability
Am Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:50:04 -0600 schrieb Cody Russell brats...@gnome.org: So, right now GtkNotebook allows you to change tabs by using the mouse wheel. Once I noticed this and the more I thought about it, it really seems like a terrible feature and one that may be detrimental to usability. I talked to Matthias briefly on irc, and he seemed to agree. He suggested that maybe there's a use for it in the case that you have a ton of notebook tabs open, but I'm not quite convinced. Just wanted to post on the lists and see if people have thoughts on this, otherwise I'm probably going to file a patch to either rip the feature out or at the very least make it so we can disable it. :) / Cody Using the mouse wheel that way in a web browser or text editor is a very convenient feature. It is much quicker than having to move the pointer to one of the sides only to switch tabs. Please don't break it just because you never used it :-) Regards, Christian ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Re: Reminder : do NOT hardcode deprecation flags in tarball / new tarballs NEEDED

A secondary reminder: please also note that due to recent deprecation of some GTK_WIDGET_* macros in GTK+, you'll have to use *new* functions (such as gtk_widget_get_realized or get_mapped) and then increase GTK_REQUIRED in configure.in to 2.19.7 too.
