The problem is that those things have already "come" (they're perfectly usable right now) and we can't give any garantee that they will be part of our official releases. Therefore, I don't think we should add this kind of thing to our release notes. I still think GNOME Journal is a good/better place to advertise those new/cool stuff. We just need the writers. :-) Just my 3 cents, --lucasr ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

You're wrong. Do you really think new contributors can easily find and work on those bugs on their own? What we need is to have the good&old love days back. Then those bugs marked with "gnome-love" keyword would be really useful. --lucasr ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

I have. Don't know why the difference exists between our experiences, but I can say that the gnome-love keyword has snagged contributions. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

How could he possibly be wrong? He didn't say that gnome-love didn't work or that no gnome-love bugs had been solved by new contributors, he said that he *thought* gnome-love didn't work and that he hasn't personally seen gnome-love bugs being solved by some new contributor. ;-) Anyway, all that aside, I have seen it work and I really love your efforts to make things work even better Lucas.
