Hey, at the meeting, we agreed to take the gnome goals review to the list, and pick a few ones that we want to 'adopt' for 3.6. Here's my review:
There are marked as 'current' on the wiki: GnomeGoals/AddGObjectIntrospectionSupport GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration GnomeGoals/PythonIntrospectionPorting GnomeGoals/XDGConfigFolders And these are marked a s 'candidates': GnomeGoals/AboutDialog GnomeGoals/WikiMigration GnomeGoals/DistCheck GnomeGoals/UpdateInfoFiles GnomeGoals/RemoveMarkupInMessages GnomeGoals/UseTimeoutAddSeconds GnomeGoals/NicerBuilds GnomeGoals/AddCodeCoverage GnomeGoals/ModernAutotools GnomeGoals/ValidateGtkBuilderFiles GnomeGoals/AppletsDbusMigration GnomeGoals/CorrectIconNames GnomeGoals/PortToGMenu GnomeGoals/PortToGtkApplication >From observing activity on the wiki, the currently 'active' goals are GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration GnomeGoals/XDGConfigFolders GnomeGoals/PortToGMenu GnomeGoals/PortToGtkApplication Some comments on the candidates: GnomeGoals/AppletsDbusMigration - I don't think this is very relevant anymore and should probably be retired GnomeGoals/AboutDialog - probably not much left to do for this other than busywork and turning all the fields green GnomeGoals/CorrectIconNames - same for this GnomeGoals/ModernAutotools - Some of the recommendations in there are a bit controversial, but one thing we may want anyway is 'support automake 1.12' GnomeGoals/AddCodeCoverage - This seems premature - 'WriteTestSuites' should come first Some ideas for goals that might be useful: Exterminate untranslated strings (see https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-May/msg00048.html) Support Colins build api (see http://people.gnome.org/~walters/docs/build-api.txt) Here is my recommendation for goals to 'adopt': GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration GnomeGoals/XDGConfigFolders - these 2 are actively being worked on, and we should just push for completion instead of dragging it out GnomeGoals/PortToGtkApplication GnomeGoals/PortToGMenu - these 2 are important for making our app story come together GnomeGoals/RemoveMarkupInMessages - because it is nice to have some goal that involves non-developers, and because it is easy, concrete and useful _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
