Re: Call for hackfest ideas

[Ghee Teo <Ghee Teo Sun COM>]

While this may not be a hot topic on everyone mind, but that fit the 
criteria that Luis
and many others have raised:

- Integrated Printer Management across different print systems via DBUS 
interfaces
 thus allow different printer management tools to function in across 
distros and platforms
 (KDE/GNOME). Ideally maintainers for each of the existing printer 
management tools
 should come together to agree on some standard interfaces and develop 
a tool that
 GNOME can bless.

Just my 2 cents,
