You're right that we are taking too long. I'd like to propose that we
hold an IRC meeting between interested parties - not to decide, but to
discuss questions. We'd publish the log to this bug report, and I'd
write up a summary.
I'm available:
Thursday 29th August unavailable
Friday 30th August 1900 - 0200
Saturday 31st August 0900 - 1300
Sunday 1st September 0900 - 0200
Monday 2nd September unavailable
Tuesday 3rd September 1900 - 0200
Wednesday 4th September 1900 - 0200
Thursday 5th September unavailable
Would everyone who would like to participate, please mail me privately
with their availability, and say which if any Gnome package(s) they
maintainer or any other relevant status they hold ?
Please pass this message on to appropriate people. If there's a
separate Gnome list it would be good to announce it there.

It does seem that you may be right on this point - that no-one wants
to make them coexist.
Ian.
