- Gnome goals for 3.8: We adopted a few gnome goals as 'official' goals last cycle, and I think that was fairly successful as a means of getting stuff done. I propose that we should do so again this cycle. First, we should probably look over which of last cycle's goals are ready to be retired:
https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration - this is now solely waiting for settings list. Settingslist functionality has been implemented and is available in a branch. Its merge is blocking on finding people who can implement the backend functionality for win32 and osx. So, we should probably keep this on, and try to drum up some people with the skills do to that work. I'll try to post about it. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/XDGConfigFolders - pretty much completely done for gnome modules. There's a long tail of 3rd party stuff on that page, but I think we should retire that page, since it is done as far as gnome is concerned. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PortToGtkApplication https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PortToGMenu - plenty of work left here, not ready to retire. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveMarkupInMessages - good progress here, but still a few modules left to fix. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PortToGstreamer1 - not quite done yet. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/NewDocumentationInfrastructure - pretty much done. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/LibsecretMigration - didn't really get started last cycle. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PrintToFile - this was only recently added. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/Python3Porting - we rejected python3 dependencies last cycle, this goal is to track the work I've added 3 new goals too, recently: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/NotificationSource - this is for the notification filtering that has been proposed as a 3.8 feature. It needs to wait until it is clear how exactly we want to do this. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/DesktopFileKeywords - making gnome-shell search better by adding keywords to desktop files. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/HighContrastAppIcons - make sure all apps have a highcontrast icon, to improve the a11y theme. My proposal is: Retire XDGConfigFolders, NewDocumentationInfrastructure Adopt LibsecretMigration, PrintToFile, Python3Porting, DesktopFileKeywords, HighContrastAppIcons as 3.8 goals Comments ? _______________________________________________ [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
