http://library.gnome.org/devel/platform-overview/stable/ We have the document. But it's getting old, and I'm having trouble updating it because I can't ascertain what our core platform is. GLib, GTK+, and GStreamer sounds really nice and clean, but looking at what people are actually using, and at some of the hot stuff that's happening, I don't think that's ever going to cut it. I send an email to d-d-l in May asking for feedback from the community on exactly this: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-May/msg00056.html There was a small but healthy thread, and I got the impression that perfect consensus would be difficult to reach. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
