Re: GNOME Sound Recorder vs GNOME Media

[meg ford <megford gnome org>]

Thanks, those ideas sound great. I have one other question: how is deprecation usually dealt with in GNOME Bugzilla? Someone filed a bug against my app today, but they chose gnome-media as the component in Bugzilla. I'll subscribe to gnome-media so I can keep an eye out for bugs people file against it that are actually my bugs, but is there anything else I should request?

Those seem like good ideas. Not sure we can do much more.
