Let's not call it 3.0 just because we feel like it. I am not proposing the change "just because we feel like it". I put serious thought into the fact that Gnome 3.0 would be useful way to highlight all the progress that has been made. A major version number change is also of some marketing value. > 3.0 should mean API breakage point. Should it?

It would be good to do something to dispell and manage those expectations because whenever 3.0 does come it will be hard to meet the utopian vision some people have for it. Having 3.0 sooner rather than later could help puncture that bubble. > will probably never happen. But it's cool to have a Ridley "vision", so > that we can gradually work towards it. Perhaps the Project Ridley developers have clearer intentions of when they might want to declare GTK 3.0 and it would provide a clearer break off point for Gnome 3.0 but again I would really like to know what the plan is if there actually is one. -- Alan H. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
