I imagine it would be combined. Only a distinction between Platform and apps. Perhaps additional 'really core'. > Almost no modules will actually meet all your certification levels.

More suggestions are very welcome. Also things like new deprecations: if something is newly deprecated, how to certify applications, or applications which were already certified. I think they should be certified/included until the next major. Basically we have ideas on how stuff should work, the details are just very difficult. > Try extra stuff, but please don't abandon the release sets until > something else is proven to be working. > > I also don't see how this needs to be part of a GNOME 3.0. The proposal is about changing stuff. Not about 3.0. The naming of 3.0 is just a small part. However, I combining this with a version change is nice, it shows a change in direction. -- Regards, Olav -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
