Nobody was able to give me a roadmap URL, and recently I saw in the
foundation meeting minutes:

But I still don't see a roadmap anywhere, and there still seems to be no
fixed opinion about what is going to be done for GNOME 2. Maybe these
things are agreed on IRC when I'm asleep. If so, it is necessary to post
your conclusions so that everybody knows what's happening.

My own personal worry is that GnomeApp is being deprecated, but that the
Bonobo UI API is not ready to replace it.

Sorry for being a pain, but this is important.
