I've been meaning to telephone him since it's been hard to get him on via email (though we do sense his presence <wink>). I'll do so as soon as I find time. > - should we start by doing a bugfix / extension release of the 2.0.x > series, or do a release for gtk+ 2.2 / gnome 2.4, or just start working > on a complete 2.4 / 2.6 right away? The first release will be based on 2.2.0. We've got a small enough team to not really be able to do many bugfix releases, and the intervals between releases have been very large. We would like to see this change, but it requires people stepping up and helping us plan and implement changes and fixes. > - should we set up a new pygtk-devel mailing list (I don't know if > there's one already), or just use the normal pygtk list and the bugzilla > to communicate? The main list is fine to communicate. I've just set up a [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias that can be used to reach the developer team. > - how do we do the development? should we submit patches against the > current cvs, get write access (at least a couple of us) to cvs, or set > up our own cvs tree? Use GNOME cvs; patches should be posted to the relevant Bugzilla reports. If a report doesn't exist for something you're working on, open it. The developer page at http://pygtk.org/developer.html is a good resource for people wanting to get involved in the project. > - i'd really like to put an emphasis on documentation.

Note that John Finlay has added the reference and tutorial sources to GNOME cvs too, in the module pygtk-docs. Patches are welcome, as are bug reports (to the documentation component of the pygtk product).
