Re: GNOME 2.4 release schedule

[Breda McColgan <breda mccolgan sun com>]

Hi John,


wrt the new modules in GNOME 2.4:

 o  I am listed in DocTable as the writer for gcalctool.
    I checked the gcalctool manual into CVS in April.
    I've since updated the manual, to reflect UI changes.
    Therefore, the gcalctool ORM is up to date for GNOME 2.4.

 o  As Eugene noted in a previous mail, Irene Ryan is listed 
    in the DocTable as the writer for both gnopernicus and gok.



Wrt updating DocTable:
 
 o  We've just made the following changes to DocTable:

     -  gcalctool
         * Added "yes" to the "Written", "Edited", and "omf" columns.
         * Not sure what is meant by "Build"? Left blank for now.
         * "2.2 update" column does not apply to gcalctool.
            How should we indicate this? "N/A"?

     -  File Roller
         * Added "yes" to the "Written", "Edited", "omf", "Build",
           and "2.2 update" columns.

     -  Sticky Keys 
         * Changed the writer to Irene.

     -  googlizer
         * Changed "googlizer" to "webeyes (googlizer)".


 o  We've left the other changes that you mentioned, for the new folks
    to implement :)




Regards,
Breda.
