Anjuta Roadmap

Maintainer(s):

• Naba Kumar

What are your plans for GNOME 2.24 (next 4 months, before feature and UI freezes)?

• Improve gtksourceview based editor
• Provide easy start-up wizard
• Port gtk 2.10 deprecated APIs
• Get rid of libgnome(ui)
• Possibly start using gio
• Improve program execution interface
• Improve Build plugin

What are your plans for GNOME 2.26?

• New Symbol database plugin
• Improved symbol autocompletion
• Better glade integration.
• Automated UI testing
• git plugin

Do you have plans for a future release?

We follow gnome release plan as closely as possible.

Do you have any goals from 2.22 that were not achieved? Why?

• One important goal we missed was completing glade integration. We had lack of resource to complete it. We are hoping to get it done via GSoC.
• The other was not completing 'new symbol db' plugin. We underestimated the time required to complete it.

Is there something that is really missing in our infrastructure or platform that would help you?

A reminder email notification of pending GNOME release, about 48 hours before, would be nice.

Do you have plans to work on other modules not maintained by you? What are they?

No plan so far.

Do you have any GNOME-wide goals suggestions for the next releases?

I would like to see improved GNOME 'platform' support for developer tools. So far all focus is on User Desktop support, but some of those users are also developers.

For example, there is elaborate mime-type icons available in platform for document files (doc, pdf, xls, txt, img ...), but very little for developer files (language file, hearder files, executables, shared libraries, static libraries, Makefile.am, Changlog ...). So, while file manager window looks extremely nice in your 'documents folder', it looks flat white in your source directory (and in IDE like anjuta).
