I agree coordination is needed right now. I have signed up for the hackfest because I know that there's still lots of work to do in the api doc generator and I would like to put my experience on the existing codebase to good use. But I'm a bit lost since the decisions that were agreed at the Berlin hackfest seem to have been overridden at some point and I have missed the rationale. > So, are you interested? These days I do stuff that is related only peripherally to GNOME, so I'm afraid that I won't find enough time to take on the coordination. If nobody gets to propose a good plan before, I guess we'll have to have a good planning session at the start of the hackfest.
