Maybe a post 9.1 update.
2.0 will very likely be out by the time 9.1 is out, and I think we should include it - I think it would be a good idea to include as many GTK+2-based apps (as opposed to GTK+1-based) in 9.1 as possible. xchat 1.9.8 is, for instance, I'd argue rather more developed than Galeon 1.3.1, which is in Cooker main. I'd also like to see a CVS snapshot of gaim 0.60 put into Cooker - why they haven't made a release yet, I can't fathom, because 0.60 is light years ahead of 0.59 and seems perfectly functional. gaim recommend the use of CVS versions anyway, so I don't think using a snapshot should present a problem. (reference: on the download page: "When possible, you really should be using CVS instead of the last release, because there are often many bugs fixed in the CVS version that were present in the last release. If using CVS is not an option, consider using the CVS tarball.") With galeon 1.3.x or gtk+2 moz, pan, xchat and gaim, and maybe gimp 1.3, GNOME2 users can have an almost entirely GTK+2-based desktop - only Evolution is missing now, and that's being worked on :). So it'd be nice to have GTK+2 versions of xchat and gaim in 9.1. -- adamw
