These seem to cover the categories you describe above. They also have concepts that are clear and easy to pick up. While people might like mines, I don't think it makes a good default game: it seems rather archaic. I guess this needs to be finished - I say since no opposition then just let the design team (i.e. Allan) here decide. I would suggest reconsidering mahjongg, imo it's one of the nicer looking games and it plays the best on touch devices. Thomas - do you want to update jhbuild? Sure I can do that this week.

They're both in Mallard. The new Platform Overview was started by Phil to give us something a bit stronger than a module listing, which is what the Platform Overview has fallen into since about 3.0. To the original question: we have always had the problem of deciding what goes into the PO. Is it the core, stable libraries? Everything we use anywhere? Do we include non-GObject stuff that we nonetheless heavily use? I'd never heard of zapojit before now. Is this something we expect a lot of developers to use?

[...] To the original question: we have always had the problem of deciding what goes into the PO. Is it the core, stable libraries? Everything we use anywhere? Do we include non-GObject stuff that we nonetheless heavily use? Exactly. Moreover, it is not clear to me if we want 3rd parties to use GOA or not. While it would give better integration with the platform (ie. GNOME) if they do, there are concerns about diluting the GNOME brand. I'd never heard of zapojit before now. Is this something we expect a lot of developers to use? The answer to that is the same as the answer for libgdata, with the exception that libzapojit is not meant to be API/ABI stable yet. After all it is 2 weeks old. :-) (First hit when I search online is the reference manual on developer. That's good. The first screenful on that page doesn't tell me what to use zapojit for. It tells me about its license. That's not good.) Scroll down a bit and it becomes pretty clear, but yes, you are right. It can be improved.
