Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 17th May 2007 14:55 UTC, submitted by Philipp Esselbach
Gnome GNOME 2.19.2 has been released. "This is our second development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are still arriving, so your mission is simple: go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it."

But KDE4 has a new generation toolkit QT 4. Therefore it's quite natural to call it a major release. For Gnome 3 to arrive, gtk must get a revamp.

I think the issue at play isn't necessarily the need for GNOME 3.0 but more correctly a better focus on fixing bugs, reducing bloat and actually bringing features which end users want. For me, gstreamer needs a major overhaul; its mp3mux is completely and utterly broken - its so bad I've actually thrown in the towel and now using Grip + cdparanoia + lame's own id3v2 tagging. If it isn't the mp4 tagging corrupting files, its the mp3 tagging in gstreamer which corrupts information such as bitrate.

For me, all I see is 'release, release, release' without any justification - what are we going to deliver in this release; what user visible enhancements do we need to add to improve the over all user experience; there needs to be someone in charge of GNOME who make decisions and direct the project in a direction which sets down the projects focus for each release - "this is where we are, this is where we should be in 6months time" and set down a schedule.
