I released gtk-engines 2.6.6 last night. Lots of code cleanups in this release. No official release e-mail as yet as I am still waiting for a replacement router at home.

Many thanks to Vincent for doing the gnome-backgrounds 2.12.2 release. It was tricky enough to get the gtk-engines release done without a reliable internet connection, so I was glad he was able to step in to do this release. Not much news however, just one translation updated (Kirghiz).

Comments on the future of gnome-backgrounds would be appreciated. Is it time for a new set of backgrounds? What would people like to see included in the set?
Maybe add some widescreen wallpapers for new laptops.
Could we maybe use some of these for gnome-backgrounds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Featured_desktop_backgrounds. Some of them are stunningly beautiful and they are under a suitable license.
He meant this url:

I would also agree that gnome needs some fresh new wallpapers.
Maybe a contest?
what do you think ? good or bad idea?
