The biggest thing is forms and annotations support in Evince. Forms work was done during last summer and needs to be merged into trunk. Annotations work is scheduled with this summer of code. > - What are your plans for GNOME 2.22 (next year)? Evince is not very efficient now. I hope some work will be done in this area soon. > - Do you have plans for a future release? Well it would be nice to have the following: 1. Testsuite with a good coverage 2. Better developer documentation 3. Support for specials and printing in DVI 4. Probably metadata should be integrated with common GNOME framework 5. Ally support 6. OCR support 7. Better integrated postscript support with text search, etc.. We still lack good library to work with postscript, ghostscript is certainly not so good. > - Do you have any goals from 2.18 that were not achieved? Why? Everything planned can be done earlier. As usual lack of time and resources is the main reason for slow movement.

Specifically for Evince it would be nice to have common dead metadata storage or app serialization framework. I hope this work will be done one day. > - Do you have plans to work on other modules not maintained by you? > What are they? Personally I am trying to work on different modules like gnome-games, panel, rhythmbox, evolution and so on. It's very important to keep wide view over GNOME. I hope others will not stick with Evince only too :) > - Do you have any GNOME-wide goals suggestions for the next releases? Looking over all recent discussions it would be nice for GNOME to stop spreading efforts over freedesktop world or Windows or Portland or GTK or Embedded platforms, etc. For sure integration and unification are good things until they don't conflict with the main goal. We can just be perfect development platform and desktop for Linux. But it's just a thought nothing more :)
