Gnome Utils Roadmap

Maintainers:

• EmmanueleBassi, VincentNoel (main maintainers)

• PaoloBorelli, FabioMarzocca (baobab)

• DennisCranston (gsearchtool)

• JonathanBlandford (gnome-screenshot)

What are your plans for GNOME 2.26 (next 4 months, before feature and UI freezes)?

Baobab

• Bug fixing

Dictionary

• Probably remove the dictionary applet and fall back to deskbar instead
• Add Wikipedia support

GFloppy

• Replace with a true media formatter (depending on DeviceKit-disks release)

Screenshot

• Add desktop area grabbing
• Support actions: save [the default], open with, print

• Switch save dialog to a pure GtkFileChooser

Search Tool

• Use GIO

System Log Viewer

• Complete rewrite

Do you have plans for a future release?

• Provide a better gdict library for third party code to use and make the dictionary obsolete (better integration with the desktop)
• Move gnome-screenshot to its own module and make it depend only on gtk+ for other desktop environments (XFCE)
