I don't want to enter the "I like it/I don't like it" thread since I have no particular opinion on it (I tend to not use a menu at all), but I would like to raise some concerns about how g-m-m fits in the gnome development workflow: - jhbuild buildone gnome-main-menu gives jhbuild buildone: A module called ''gnome-main-menu'' could not be found. - there are no g-m-m release on http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/ - the gnome-main-menu product in bugzilla has just 37 bugs open (which seems a good thing), but the whole number of bugs ever reported is 41. By randomly opening the bugs it seems to me that the g-m-m developers are not very active responding on b.g.o and afaics most (all?) of the patches submitted on b.g.o have not been reviewed. - I didn't find any announcement of g-m-m on gnome-announce-list I am not pointing any fingers, every developer is free to spend his time as he pleases, but I think that use of GNOME infrastructure and regular releases synchronized with the GNOME schedule are important things to consider when evaluating a new module. The lack of easy to find releases and the fact that is not in jhbuild also raises the concern of QA... I am sure Novell did a lot of internal QA before shipping g-m-m, but test on other distros (for instance without beagle available etc) is something to be considered. ciao Paolo _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
