Hi, I just added Clutter and friends to the release set of GNOME Mobile 2.25, and would like to share my thoughts with the rest of the incubation/pending list: * Gypsy Solid start as a replacement for GPSD, but there hasn't been any real-world use that I know of and development has stalled. Remain in incubation. * GeoClue Very interesting concept, and apparently used by Garmin in some of their new satnavs. However development has stalled. Remain in incubation. * GUPnP Since the OpenedHand acquisition, Intel are continuing the development of GUPnP and has committed QA time. Also, Nokia are using GUPnP in Maemo 5 alpha and Collabora hired Jorn Baayen, the original author, to work on GUPnP. The future is looking very bright, I propose we add this. * HAL Currently being considered deprecated by a substantial portion of the maintainers and work instead is going on DeviceKit. On the new world order of Linux 2.6.recent and sane drivers, HAL becomes more and more a bloated wrapper around /sys. * PulseAudio Maemo 5 (alpha) and Moblin 2 (alpha) both use PulseAudio. It enables some very magic features like transparently switching from internal headphones to Bluetooth headset. It is also being used by GNOME 2.26. I propose we add this. * TinyMail Used in Maemo's mail client, but annoyingly the non-Maemo ports are untested and unfinished. Remain in incubation. * OHM Maemo 5 will be using OHM, but the alpha doesn't ship it. Upstream development stalled a long time ago. Remain in incubation to see what future Maemo releases bring. * WebKit * Mozilla The battle is still on! WebKit is as strong as ever, and Mozilla has been making excellent progress on mobile. No clear winner as yet, and adding both would be confusing. Maybe these should both be added to a Recommended External Projects list? So, in conclusion, I propose that we add to GNOME Mobile: - GUPnP - PulseAudio Everything else remains in incubation. Any comments? Ross -- Intel Open Source Technology Centre http://oss.intel.com/
