This is a very timely discussion to have since there are a bunch of
thoughts on many people's minds right now. These include the following:
* Eliminating the Bonobo dependency from accessibility stuff in GNOME.

I'm not sure of the logistics of a phone in possibility. They ALWAYS

Hi Willie
Hey Everyone:
This is the candidate for the GNOME 2.20 release. If you get a chance,
please download it, check it out, and send comments to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or log bugs at http://bugzilla.gnome.org. We've got
one week to get show stopper problems fixed for GNOME 2.20, though I
hope none exist.

problems and planning, and many thanks to Owen Taylor for all the work
