New Bindings modules (was Re: GNOME 2.7/2.8 Proposed Schedule)

[Murray Cumming <murrayc murrayc com>]

We are now in sync with the GNOME schedule:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.7/
There is no extra, different, GNOME Bindings schedule.

According to that schedule, the new modules decision is on July 19th,
but modules should make 2.7.x releases before that to show that they can
stick to the schedule, in the hope that they will be approved. That
means that you should make the first 2.7.1 releases on May 10th. Sorry
for the short notice:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.7/#Hard_API_Freeze

So, I would like your lists of modules as soon as possible if you would
like to 
- add a module to the schedule, to wrap something extra.
- add a whole new Bindings project to the schedule.

Notice that the same date is being used for the API freeze. So, new
modules won't be approved if they are not already ready for API freeze.
The earlier I know about new modules, the more chance I will have to
assess that. Here is some information about the API Freeze:
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/tasks.html#FreezeAPI

Here are the Platform Bindings rules again:
http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/bindings/rules.html

I hope that is clear. Please do ask if it is not.
