	So, the relevant things from this were:

  1) Slushy API freeze should start mid October, so schedule wise GTK+ 
     2.6 should be fine for GNOME 2.10

  2) GTK+ 2.5.3 includes indexes which list[1] the new APIs in 2.2, 2.4 
     and 2.6. That's a really good starting point for developers who
     want to figure out what they could be using (e.g. we can now dump
     EelEllipsizingLabel and GnomeAbout)

  3) Since the API freeze for GTK+ 2.6 is getting close, people should 
     be making sure they're favourite issues are getting attended to - 
     e.g. the HIG dialog API ! :)

  4) Matthias is going to do another GTK+ 2.4 release early October. 
     That should be time enough for GNOME 2.8.1.

Cheers,
Mark.
