Hi Release Team. The other day at the Foundation irc meeting, Matthias mentioned to me that "now would be a great time to set up a feature planning page for python3 migration." Before I do so, I wanted to double-check that this migration indeed qualifies as a feature. Currently it is a proposed-but-not-approved GNOME Goal [1].
>From this branch [2] of my original thread [3] I am not seeing community-wide embracing or rejecting of the migration as part of the work targeted for 3.8. Since the community seems to lack a definitive opinion on this matter, perhaps this is an instance where the Release Team evaluates the feasibility of accomplishing this in time for 3.8, and if it is deemed feasible approves the Goal. Secondly, if this is a feature on top of a Goal, "task owners are mandatory" [4] for features. Who shall the owner be? (She says whistling innocently, looking around at others, and taking a giant step back.) ;) Since I have been one of the few more active proponents of getting this task done, I am willing to co-own it with Javier or some other Release Team member. But I don't see myself as "qualified" or having sufficient time to own this one alone. Soooo.... As always, whatever you all decide is fine with me. Please let me know how you would like me to proceed. Thanks guys! --joanie [1] https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/Python3Porting [2] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-July/msg00031.html [3] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-June/msg00056.html [4] https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointSeven/Features _______________________________________________ release-team@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
