hi srini,
thanks for the status report.

 I'm hoping to get the following things for 2.22 cycle.
 * Exchange Smartcard support (Mostly done and GAL is still pending)
 * Non-Intrusive error reporting (Prototype patch is there, not started
 yet)
 * Matt's new-look composer

cool, looks like http://live.gnome.org/RoadMap is more or less uptodate.

to keep up a tradition, i'd like to list those issues i've been always
proposing for the last cycles:
  * 213072 - summary mismatch (74 duplicates, 6 in the last 30
days)
  * 352287 - share weather locations with libgweather as far as
possible
  * 233035 - support central deployment
  * make evo realize that it crashed when getting restarted
(mbarnes)
  * 347471 looks like already work in progress.
  * 335923 - lockdown support (i hope that federico is working on
this?)

But not anymore. Anyways, I would make sure that you won't remind me
anymore :)

If not a fix, I promise a work-around atleast.
   * 352287 - share weather locations with libgweather as far as

I don't think, I would target this in 2.21.x, unless I get a patch from
some one.

   * 233035 - support central deployment
UAM should help to get this happen. 
Sankar, isn't it?
   * make evo realize that it crashed when getting restarted
 (mbarnes)
Hmm, should be a overnight task IMO. But I think the requirements need
to be frozen first. If you/mbarnes could blow it up on the wiki, it
would be great.

Blame me, I couldn't spend time with Federico at Guadec. If I would
have, I might have answered you with more concrete things.

Anyways, thanks for bringing it (again) :)

The mechanism is simple: create a file on startup, delete it on
shutdown.  If the file is there on startup, it means we didn't shutdown
cleanly last time and the various components can be notified of that.

What components do with that information needs to be ironed out.  The
primary use case I had in mind was disabling email preview, or at least
changing the selection to something safe like On This Computer.  But
the new --disable-preview option put this feature on the backburner.

I'm not sure what, if any, action would be appropriate for Calendar or
other components.  Probably need to look at what kinds of things tend to
cause crashes in those components and how best to avoid them at startup.

With the Composer work I'm trying to get done, I'm not sure I'll have
time to see this through before GNOME 2.22.  If someone else wants to
take it up I'd be happy to assist.

Right. Got it. I think I will be able to do it at free time this week.
The ---disable-preview was written not just for mails, but also for
contacts, tasks. So this should be pretty simple to get it in.
