Re: MeeGo

I think we stop waiting for people to come use GNOME Mobile technologies and make it really attractive to application developers. If the GTK+ toolkit is really attractive to application developers, the mobile platforms/devices will make sure that they work on the their device.

yes, gtk+ takes a backseat. So what can we do? gtk+ needs to make a better first
impression on software vendors as well. There are people working on that, but
those are clearly not enough of them. Almost everyone can help with

- moving the apis docs from tmpl to inline
- afterward improving the docs
- getting rid of cruft in the code
- writing tests
- review pending patches
- help triaging bugs

Don't take any of those platform decisions cast in stone, in the end the
companies will use what they feel is better,
