[RFC] GNOME Showstopper Review

[Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net>]

Hej hej Bugsquad,

another draft for a showstopper review.
GNOME 3 deprecation status will be covered in a separate posting.
If there's any important bug missing: Please speak up!
Otherwise this will be sent to d-d-l in 40 hours.


------snip------


GNOME 2.26.3 will be released on July 1st and GNOME 2.28 in September.
Take a look, test & help out, get things done now instead of postponing
plus being surprised of a sudden freeze that has always been mentioned
in http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyseven . ;-)
Please do speak up if there are important bugs that are not listed here.

================================================
BRASERO

This has been open for 10 months and there's still no fix.

GNOME GOALS left:
================================================
* http://live.gnome.org/GtkPrintPort :
This only requires an update of gnome-devel-docs and a solution for
gnome-python-desktop.
* http://live.gnome.org/GioPort :
This only requires a solution for gnome-python-desktop.


More Goals available:
* http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/CleanupGTKIncludes
* http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveDeprecatedSymbols/Glib
* http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveDeprecatedSymbols/GTK%2B
