Beyond simply porting, however, what user visible enhancements will go
into GNOME 2?

If we want to make the planned dates, very very little. VERY little.
Port, debug, ship.


User visible changes should be:
1) Text Anti-aliasing

2) Faster in a number of respect (if some of the g_object code was fixed) (imlib dropped, etc.)

3) accessibility features (key navigation, arabic and hebrew support) (how sad is that that I have to type this last bit in a computer program Changelog </offtopic>)

4) Some new applications (like fontcarton, font viewer, which hasn't been released for 1.4 just yet). Anders is working on a port to 2.0 as well as a Nautilus "commit your stuff now or I make you look bad in front of all the people" view ;).

BTW, I can't believe nobody ever said "we should do a font viewer". It took me a couple of hours putting something decent together because I needed to clean up my fonts directory.

Cheers
