RE: GNOME Platform Bindings - first schedule date

[Murray Cumming Comneon com]

Excellent. I know that lots of people really want to see Java as part of
this. I look forward to December 22nd.

But do be careful about API stability. Worry and worry again about the
consequences of freezing API and how you will create a parallel-installable
API if necessary. I don't know how this would be done in Java without
creating a new package name, but I'm no Java expert.
