Re: Gnome 2.12
I have to admit, this is the answer I mostly expected, the "it's ready
when it's ready." It seems to me typical of linux culture, and
for all the talk about bringing new users to linux and how FOSS is
really great and better than proprietary software, It doesn't help our
cause.
But I did what you all suggested and read the thread about the 2.10
schedule (and the updated thread), and I am exactly as educated as
before asking the question. I would love to help with this.
I doubt my familiarity with the codebase is going to put me coding,
etc., but I'll surely report bugs and strangeness, and do what I can
with the code, but to do this, someone needs to answer the question
about a package in experimental. Is there one? Where can I
get it? Or am I to play with the source from gnome.org?
Thanks in advance.

Well, i think some kind of status document, not showing individual packages
but some vague global estimation and mention of particular problematic issues
posted somewhere and where we can point people to would be more helpfull than
the "see the previous thread about this". Maybe a bits from the gnome team and
some 2.12 estimations or something to d-d-a ?
But i think that the "it will be ready when its ready, someday maybe" kind of
response is more than not-helpfull, it is also detrimental and most
infuriating (err, however one writes that :).
