I think 2.9x series would be a good move, provided that someone *guarantees* that it will mean new features for 3.0.

If for nothing else, it might ease the flood of comments from people who seem to be afraid of the “big” 3.0 not leaving the cosmos in an unstable state with new innovative features…

“Federico presented his ideas for timeline tabs”

the tabs joke continues?

seriously though the journal provided by Sugar/OLPC is a great idea and something along those lines could be really great for Gnome. thing is once you have your document based metaphor a journal of the documents you were working on recently works really really well, and I’ve rambled before how interesting it could be to have not just a few recent documents but a much more detailed and involved document history or journal or timeline as others have called it.

great news.

Yes, we are looking into providing automated tools that can help in that respect. Many of the changes for moving from direct struct accesses to using function accessors should be possible to do automatically. Hopefully there will be some more concrete news about this soonish.

For new C APIs could conversion scripts be written, like python will be doing with 2to3 to convert from 2.5 to 3.0 ?
