If nothing uses it anymore in the official gnome modules (btw, did
something used it?), deprecate it. It is almost unmaintained, AFAIK. Of
course, there is no official alternatives, but I don't think there will
be one in a foreseeable future. Just defining what it should do will be
quite difficult since there seems to be so many divergent opinions among
the community. And even if somebody is able to write a multipurpose
canvas, it might not fulfill everybody's needs. For my use case, I
tested libccc and goocanvas, and in the end it took me less time to
write a new widget from scratch with all the features I need and just
these.

Best regards,
Jean

AOL. The timeframe looks way too short to allow for completing dconf and
porting all applications before the 3.0 release.

there is no GConf maintainer, and the DBus port is a huge hack and not

need a lot of work.

There being no GConf maintainer makes this easy for a suitably willing

Well, at this point we have someone willing to write a piece of

Actually, looking at the state of gconf vs gconf-dbus was on my todo
list.   But if dconf is more than vapourware then I'm all for
deprecating gconf!

Of course, if nothing else is going to depend on Bonobo and GConf
doesn't expose Bonobo in its API (which I think it doesn't) then we
could just move libbonobo into the gconf source tree, as a private
library, and then complete the D-Bus fixup/merge at our leisure after that.

GConf-DConf seems like it might be less work per module than
gnome-vfs-gio though...

Re: GNOME 3.0 Schedule draft; Streamlining of the Platform.

2009-04-02 Thread Willie Walker
For the accessibility portion, here's some strawman stuff that will be  
solidified soon (I hope):


1) Luke Yelavich at Canonical is planning on looking at speech  
dispatcher as a proposed replacement for gnome-speech.  If he gets  
support from his management to do the work and is successful at meeting  
the sundry of requirements being placed on a speech synthesis solution,  
we can deprecate/remove gnome-speech.  Note that speech dispatcher will  
likely end up as a cross platform project under the Linux Foundation  
Open A11y community.


2) We are working with another organization right now to investigate  
magnification solutions.  This may involve picking up on  
http://projects.gnome.org/outreach/a11y/tasks/magnification/, and I  
suspect the ultimate solution will be a combination of improvements to  
Compiz's eZoom plugin plus a D-Bus API.  If so, this may end up as a  
Compiz project.


3) In two weeks, Sun is hosting a meeting between Sun, Codethink, and  
Novell to develop a go forward plan to get the AT-SPI/D-Bus work to a  
point where the existing Bonobo/CORBA solution can be supplanted.  This  
includes figuring out what to do about applications that currently  
depend upon cspi.  Since it is cross platform, this may also end up as  
a project under the Linux Foundation's Open A11y group.


I'd also like to organize something at GUADEC around this since it is  
basically a rewrite of the entire accessibility infrastructure for  
GNOME.  In the end, we will have also created a solution that is  
compatible with KDE desktops and is also more amenable to mobile  
devices.


Keep an eye on http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/BonoboDeprecation  
for details.


Hope this ties you over until we can solidify things more,

Will

 pitiful.  Has someone volunteered to update it/flesh it out between
 now and then?

 I was refering to [1] linked from [2].


It would be really helpful for this to get some feedback from people
who have already done a conversion to GtkBuilder. What were the
gotchas ? What are the tricks that one needs to know ?

Re: GNOME 3.0 Schedule draft; Streamlining of the Platform.

2009-04-02 Thread Johannes Schmid
Hi!

 I add another question here, as a complete dconf/GConf newbie:
 is depending on Bonobo/Corba vs DBus the only thing that makes GConf not
 useful towards GNOME 3.0 or are there some other
 design/preformance/whatever issues requiring a full rewrite to be
 solved?

Performance (especially on Desktop login, see some blog posts by Micheal
Meeks). And the code base is rather old and wasn't really maintained for
some time now which could make a bad base for hacking. It is also not
very tied to Glib/GObject (GValue vs. GConfValue, etc.).

But after Ryan's mail I guess the discussion could become obsolete.
Having someone working on dconf full-time is certainly better than
having noone working on gconf.

Regards,
Johannes

 I've worked with GtkBuilder some in gnome-keyring. So far the big gotcha
 have been the lack of support in glade for saving in the builder format
 directly. Maybe this has been fixed by now, haven't checked.

This should be fixed by http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490678

It does now, at least in a quick trip to migration land in
gnome-panel[0] I was able to load the .glade files and save them in
.ui (well, GtkBuilder) format. Simple, and the new Project Preferences
even allowed me to select the target GTK+ version.

Great work, Glade team :-)
