I forgot to send these. Bad Telsa.

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-September/msg00129.html
     
  PENDING: Jeff to check in changes to dotplan.
  => Jeff not here, so couldn't check.

  PENDING: Jeff to install analog or webalyser on the box hosting dotplan
  so we know what people are looking for/at/over.
  => post-FTP changeover.

  PENDING: Jeff to create check-list of "things to do before major
  release" and maintain it so it's ready for 2.2.0.
  => post-FTP changeover.

  PENDING: Luis to collate responses from relevant maintainers on whether
  they want their apps to be part of GNOME 2.2 and post them for public
  discussion.
  => Luis got lots of responses, is definitely going to post them this
  week.

  PENDING: Jeff to write 'GNOME 2.2 Desktop Modules' GEP and post, etc.
  

Decisions and discussion:

  * Status of 2.0.2

  2.0.2RC-1 is out. 2.0.2 is due. This is later than the schedule on
  dotplan. However, we are not changing the rest of the schedule. 
  2.1.x and 2.2.0 dates are completely unaffected by 2.0.x times,
  and are still due out as per http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/schedule

  * Anything to suggest for Sun's Sysadmin's Guide?

  Pat Costello announced that Sun was planning to start work on a 
  GNOME 2 System Adminstration Guide shortly. If anyone has thoughts
  on things such a guide should cover, now is a very good time to
  speak up. (See also Gnome bug number 91868, which is similar.)

  Subject line: GNOME 2.0 System Admin Guide
  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2002-September/thread.html
  ...and follow the links for that subject line.

  (Announcement was also on desktop-devel-list but no discussion there.)

  * Jody broke a string

  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-September/msg00181.html

  Jody is a naughty Jody. He wasn't at the meeting, so we need to 
  find out whether gnome-i18n want it reverted or what. 

  * Speeding up GNOME

  In 2002-08-21 minutes we had: 
  NEW: Karl to make noises in next few weeks about performance     
  and profiling. He said "three weeks", so remember for second     
  meeting in September.

  Karl is duly reminded.

  * Upcoming absences

  Luis is away 2002-09-18 to 2002-10-09.
  Telsa is away 2002-09-20 to 2002-09-26. (Someone else can minute 
  for the meeting on the 25th, therefore) 
  Glynn is away for 2002-09-18 meeting.
  
  * Who's taking on which modules to track.

  As per prior minutes, this is not an attempt to micro-manage.
  It's an attempt to make sure that when someone asks "What's
  going on with lib-foo?" on IRC or the mailing lists or in the
  phone calls, someone should be able to answer rather than everyone 
  saying "Urr, I thought someone else knew."
