People have struck on a topic I started thinking about a little while ago. This thinking is highlighted on the wiki space (http://live.gnome.org/GnomeApplets).
In short we would create a gnome-applets-extras. The purpose of this package would be to include all the applets that have no home on their own, but really don't need to be part of the standard desktop. This will reduce the load on the maintainers/translators and everyone else while not leaving older applets to die. Here are a series of transitions I have thought about. Applet Current Proposed Notes ------ ------ -------- ----- clock panel applets remove e-d-s dep in panel wanda panel applets-extras stickynotes applets applets-extras netstatus -- applets needn't be separate user-switch -- applets useful feature geyes applets applets-extras gtik applets applets-extras modemlights applets applets-extras I would also like to separate the locations database out from g-applets, since it is a huge portion of the tarball size and may benefit from reuse in other places. I am also interested in replacing mini-commander with Deskbar. The problem here is that Deskbar is in Python and uses a binding from gnome-python-extras. The other option is the pimping of mini-commander. --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
