Re: Time to move GGV to the Attic? (Was: Subversion migration recap (cut-off Friday July 14th))

["Kevin Kubasik" <kevin kubasik net>]

I think that's more an issue with envice than if we should retire the
ggv module. ggv development is more or less dead (near as I can tell)
and envice is its replacement. If there are features that you want to
see Incorporated into envice, I would recommend filing a bug.

Here is the CIA Stats for ggv
http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/gnome/ggv

You will notice that the last change to any actual code was May 10th,
2005 and you have to go back significantly before that to find active
feature development. If the ggv module owner wants to keep it active,
then I guess that's all cool, but barring someone for the ggv devel
team speaking up, I would say attic time...
