Notes from day 3

* Morning discussion:

• An interesting widget to have might be a readonly multi-paragraph label that can embed children in the text and reflow
• Another interesting widget to have might be a simple multiline entry without markup
• Discussion about text view
  • how do we get to css for text ?
    • enforce tree structure for markup, or put tree structured css node underneath tags
    • add css names to tags
    • translate css properties to pango attributes
  • use cases for text view: builder and gedit
• Docs
  • hot-doc is getting pitched
  • advantages:
    • can generate from gir
    • can generate multi-language docs
    • can do live editing
  • disadvantages
    • can't do some of the other developer docs we currently have that are mallard based
  • obstacles:
    • needs new infrastructure for getting docs on the website
    • needs a gradual transition path from where we are now
• portal issues:
  • We decided to make the g_app_info_launch portal implementation a little more synch to help xdg-open
  • We also decided to write very simple C versions of xdg-open and xdg-email for use in the runtime
• Build system question
  • Merging the meson support is fine
  • We don't want to maintain 2 build systems in the long term, but a limited coexistence is fine
  • Simon says distros will be ok with git-archive generated tarballs. No tarballs would be rougher
