I don't really see the importance. It can be added, but rather have other GNOME goals proposed/fixed first. Also potential string freeze breaker (have to wait until 2.26.0). > * distcheck: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/DistCheck Not sure if this is too difficult? There are no instructions how things should be fixed. Not what was intended as a GNOME goal IMO. Perhaps solvable by saying that on the page ("this is difficult and there are no guidelines, good luck"). > * Replace gnome_help and gnome-open calls with gtk_show_uri: > http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveGnomeOpenGnomeHelp +1 > * Remove markup in translatable messages: > http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveMarkupInMessages As specified in the bugreport, this depends on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveLibGladeUseGtkBuilder, which isn't a GNOME goal. Further, you'd have to wait until after 2.26.0 (although is not far away). I propose the following additions: 1. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveGnomeOpenGnomeHelp 2. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveLibGladeUseGtkBuilder #2 needs better instructions though. The migration instructions it links to is incomplete. Should be updated by someone who knows all details (saw in some bug that you had to specify a mime type in some file.. POFILES or something, this due to intltool) -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
