In general: > <http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/nautilus/TODO> We could use some help on the control center applets. In particular: - We are busily rewriting the file types capplet and merging it with the url properties capplet, as I outlined in a previous message to desktop-devel-list. I will be committing the changes shortly and some help in getting that work done would be much appreciated. - We would like to merge wm-properties in to default-applications and add a file manager selector, but we are running out of time to do so. - ...and there are yet more tasks If anyone would like to help with these things, please let us know, and I will send more detailed notes.
