Time again to look at the goals we targeted for 3.6: gsettings migration: all but done for the core, module 2 modules (aisleriot, gnome-terminal), who have to wait for the arrival of gsettings list early next cycle. If you want to be a hero, devhelp also needs to be completed still. Outside the core, there's still a few things to be done, like planner, sound-juicer and banshee.
xdg config dirs: pretty much done for the core, as well, only telepathy-mission-control still in process. There's tons of 3rd party apps on the list, if you want to make the world a better place. A little highlight: we got git itself converted to xdg config dirs. port to gtkapplications: slow but stead progress here. I think we are about 75% done for the core, some more work is needed for modules like brasero, gnome-system-monitor, gnome-terminal and vino, amon others. port to gmenu:same story as gtkapplication (no surprise, since the two are closely related) remove markup in translations: about 2/3 done. This is an easy one, if you are not into heavy patch writing. It mainly involves picking a module, looking over its .pot file in po/ (or any .po file), and looking for suspicious occurrences of xml markup - if nothing shows up, you're done. Otherwise, look at the source where the string came from and figure out a way to construct the string without the markup in the _(). new doc infrastructure: all but done for the core, just a gdm patch left to land. There's some 3rd party modules on the list if you enjoy doing this kind of Makefile editing We also added a few goals later in the cycle: libsecret migration: slowly progressing. We have a few modules converted now, which is good to get libsecret some exposure and testing. All the outstanding modules have initial patches by Stef. If your module is among them, checking that patch out, and testing it might be nice. But we're under no pressure to complete this for 3.6, libsecret can coexist just fine with libgnome-keyring. port to gstreamer 1.0: underway. we've made progress here with the cheese port, which should allow control-center and contacts to follow. If your module is using gstreamer, it would be fantastic to look into the status of the porting and do some testing. Finally, we have a new addition to the set of active goals: print to file improvement: this is an easy one. It just involves changing a few lines of code in the place where you set up the printing support for your application. But it will make live much better for people who need to produce lots of pdfs. So, taking a look at that would be great.
