Speaking as the GNOME Mobile Release Manager, I need to stop sucking and get a beta release set out with the 2.24 beta.

Changing hats, speaking as an OpenedHand^WIntel developer who works on the Matchbox suite we're very lax at actually making releases. The (bad) reason behind this is that our build system can and does pull directly from svn. I'll try and get releases out fairly soon for the rest of the matchbox stack. > Also what is the status of hildon within gnome?

Regarding GNOME Mobile, there was work to integrate parts of Hildon into GNOME Mobile but nothing really happened there. The responsibility for this falls on Nokia/maemo, I imagine they've been busy with "real" work. Ross -- Intel Open Source Technology Centre http://oss.intel.com/
