And February '08 for gentoo if it takes just as long this time as it did for Gnome 2.18. The stabilizing in gentoo of the last couple of Gnome releases has taken exponentially longer each time - who knows, perhaps Gnome 2.22 will be out before Gnome 2.20 goes stable. Gnome 2.18 went stable just last month (August, whole five months).

FYI gnome 2.20 is already available for Gentoo.

It is your decision how stable you want to run *your* system, although If you do not know how to use portage effectively I suspect you should wait until Gnome 2.20 is stable.

The planned timing for merging into OpenSolaris is B75 - which should make things really neat on Solaris as a great improvement in the desktop area.
The fill-out forms which should pretty make Adobe's own Acrobat surplus to requirement - no longer will there need to be a demand for an official reader on Solaris x86 (which Adobe is refusing to provide).

Which is scheduled for release in early November.
I'm particularly happy to see that evince now supports fill-out PDF forms, which is the main reason I still need acroread.
