Based on this thread, the release team could not decide what to do with
anjuta: we need input from the community.

Here's what we got so far:

 + anjuta (devtools)
  - no real comments from the community
  - we want an IDE in the devtools suite
  - good documentation
  - really hard to translate, and many strings could be improved
  - proposal to create an incubation suite and to put anjuta there until
    there's a clear consensus on the fact that it's ready. Some people
    don't like the idea.
  => will get back to d-d-l to get more input from the community

One problem is that the release team members either have no use for an
IDE (they don't code) or are old and {vim,emacs,whatever}-addicted, so
it's hard for us to know.

If you use anjuta, speak up. If you have tried anjuta, speak up. If the
name anjuta makes you feel something, speak up. If you want to be the
next big movie star, speak up. Now.

Vincent
