Yes, that is the best solution. No doubt.
If the main developers would come out and say, "we are 100% committed to the next major release including the gnome2 port", I'm sure more people would work on it. Yes, I understand that this is a volunteer community, and we have no control over what people work on, but I think this is a special case.
Let me explain my situation:
There is a *really* annoying, simple, problem in the "tip of the day" dialog. The text uses carriage returns ("\n"s in the po files) instead of using text wrapping. It should use text wrapping. This is a simple project for someone like me to work on, someone who wants to learn GUI programming. However, I don't want to learn gnome1, because that is a dead-end technology. And, I've been dissuaded from doing it in gnome2, because my work may not be usable until possibly 2 major releases from now (ie: years). How many others are in the same boat I am? How many potential developers do we lose because of this issue?
And, If I start hacking away on something stupidly simple like the tip of the day dialog, who knows what might happen? Maybe I will become a major contributor to the gnome2 port? Who knows... but in our current state we will never know.
