A bit late and a bit slim this week; we had a large meeting with
all the developers, and I spent a lot of time organizing and
summarizing that. However, hopefully we have some infrastructure in
place to keep track of our progress toward the next release. We
also made some decisions about our future roadmap. I’ll try to
report on some of these things in next week’s summary.
1) Interview with Miguel
Miguel chats with LinuxWorld magazine about future GNOME
plans:

2) Write Docs!
Dave has a particularly inspired call to write API docs this
week:
http://www.gnome.org/mailing-lists/archives/gnome-list/1999-August/0844.shtml
The docs really are moving along, we just need those final few
sections.
3) Control Center Release
Control Center 1.0.6 is out. See www.gnome.org. UI Properties
capplet is much nicer in this release, and some bugs are fixed.
4) GNOME Mailer
Bertrand sent in this status report on the GNOME Mailer:
http://www.gnome.org/mailing-lists/archives/gnome-mailer-list/1999-August/0035.shtml
If you’re interested in hacking on this, sign up for the mailing
list and check out the CVS module. Should be a cool project, and
there’s already lots of progress.
5) Hacking Activity
