Re: GNOME Roadmap - Information Request for epiphany

[Reinout van Schouwen <reinouts gnome org>]

Hi all,

I'd like to get a bit of discussion going about this request.

What do the list members think Epiphany 2.20 should be like, compared to
2.18? I'd like to provide a more elaborate answer to Lucas' question
than "we don't really have a plan".

Please be realistic here, because as you probably know there is very
little  developer manpower at the moment. We do have a promising Summer
of Code project[1] but we shouldn't depend on this being ready for 2.20.

To give you a bit of a sense of direction, you could have a look at the
current untriaged patches in bugzilla[2]. Which are useful, which
require work? Can they be applied to SVN trunk?

The current 2.18 roadmap page [3] may provide some inspiration as well.
For example, the download integration with Nautilus was nearly ready but
it has fallen through on a failed assumption that Mathusalem (long
running task manager) would be included into GNOME. What are we going to
do with it?

Hoping for a constructive discussion,
