All, I have attached the modified proposal.txt file. The additional materials have been updated as well. The changes affect only Volatile and Uncommitted interfaces. The Committed interfaces remain unchanged. These changes are to match what the community has recently done.
As such I have reset the timer for Wednesday, August 20th, 2008.

Introduction =============== 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: GNOME 2.24 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Matt Keenan (matt.keenan at sun.com) Dave Lin (dave.lin at sun.com) Evan Yan (evan.yan at sun.com) 1.3. Email Aliases: 1.3.1. Responsible Manager: leo.binchy at sun.com paul.mei at sun.com harry.lu at sun.com helen.wang at sun.com 1.3.2. Responsible Engineer: matt.keenan at sun.com dave.lin at sun.com evan.yan at sun.com irene.huang at sun.com brian.cameron at sun.com 1.3.3. Marketing Manager: Glynn.Foster at Sun.COM 1.3.4. Interest List: desktop-cteam at sun.com accessprogramoffice at sun.com trusted-jds at sun.com ================== 2. Project Summary ================== 2.1. Project Description This project continues on LSARC 2008/207 to provide a newer version of GNOME, as part of the Java Desktop System (JDS), targeted for Nevada. More formally, this project will integrate GNOME 2.24 along with some other components that aren't currently part of the official community release. 2.2. Risks and Assumptions 2.2.1. Schedule This project is targeted to be bundled with Nevada, with an intended integration date of Nevada build 99 (09/08/08), of the current Solaris OS release schedule. This is for a minor release only. 2.2.2. Accessibility Accessibility is still a key concern in the GNOME desktop. Although the community has realized the importance of A11Y, and has contributed a great deal to the project, the core parts of the desktop may not be fully accessible. The project team is adding resources according to need and associating time to market schedules. 2.2.3. GPL Licensed Libraries The following issues are associated with GPL libraries (please find the proposed rule about GPL license libraries here: http://webhome.sfbay/OFR/GPL-LGPLArchRules.html) 1. No LGPL'd libraries should be depending on GPL'd libraries. 2. GPL'd libraries should not be shipped in standard path. 3. Change "GPLv2 or later" to "GPLv2". About the first issue, This issue occurs when a non-GPL (e.g. LGPL) library links against a GPL library. The investigation shows that libgtop is still shipped and libgtop is not depended on by LGPL'd libraries (dependencies include /usr/bin/baobab and /usr/bin/gnome-system-monitor). About the second issue, The GPL rules are still being discussed. We will make sure that new projects with GPL'd libraries are not depended by non-GPL'd libraries. About the third issue, This is a legal issue, and not an ARC issue. We include this information here only for reference. ======================== 3. Technical Description ======================== This project will build on the base we built with "LSARC 2008/207 GNOME 2.22", and provide a newer version of the GNOME desktop into Nevada. The GNOME Project's focus on users and usability continues in GNOME 2.24 with its hundreds of bug fixes and user-requested improvements. This project provides many usability improvements, performance tunings, improved configuration, and updated branding. More details on specific improvements can be found on the GNOME community release notes [not yet released] - http://www.gnome.org/start/2.24/notes/ Currently, the GNOME 2.24 draft release note is available at: - http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyFour/ReleaseNotes Where possible, we will coordinate with those components that are shipped as part of the official GNOME community release. JDS may deviate from the GNOME community release, but only where there is an appropriate business justification or engineering impact. 3.1. Interface classification summary. 3.1.1. Changes of Committed interfaces Refer to manpages [5]. Minor changes are introduced in GNOME 2.24 for Committed Libraries changes --------------------------- o libgdk-x11-2.0 o libgdk_pixbuf-2.0 o libglib-2.0 o libgtk-x11-2.0 o libpango-1.0 o libpangocairo-1.0 Committed CLIs changes ---------------------- None. Committed Configuration Files ----------------------------- None. Other changes that are included ------------------------------- None. Please refer to ./interface-table.txt [3] for details. 3.1.2. New Components Pangomm, which provides a C++ interface to the Pango library, has been splited from Gtkmm to a separate package. The libraries it ships keep unchanged. Other new components have been ARC-ed in separate ARC cases. Refer to Section 4 Other related ARC Cases. 3.1.3. Removed Components The following are old components to be removed from the desktop release. - gnome-freedb-libs Unused component and functionality replaced by musicbrainz. 3.2. Interface tables Interface tables can be found in [3]. Refer to the modulediffs [1] report for a list of modules which have been updated to a new version. Please refer to the gtk-docs [6] that are installed to the system with this release of the JDS desktop. Changes to packaging are highlighted in the pkgcmp report. [2] The case materials also includes the list of related pkgmap files for all installed packages. [7] ====================== 4.

Resources and Schedule ========================= 5.1. Projected Availability This project will be included in Solaris Nevada and OpenSolaris. 5.2. Cost of Effort Refer to the PLC documentation which includes P&L for the project. 5.3. Cost of Capital Resources Refer to the PLC documentation which includes P&L for the project. 5.4. ARC review type: [Standard/FastTrack/SelfReview] FastTrack ========================= 6. Prototype Availability ========================= 6.1. Prototype Availability Development versions of GNOME 2.24 are available here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/current/ 6.2. Prototype Cost The JDS team works to provide the latest desktop stack in development so that people internally can have access to the latest code for testing and early access to new features. These builds are also used by the desktop team for doing ongoing development and testing. Therefore, the cost of providing the these "prototype" builds are a part of the cost the development team requires to provide the next release of GNOME into Solaris. Since much of the desktop stack is developed externally, the cost of development is shared by many organizations, including Sun.
