Request for comment (evolution team): release date for GNOME 3.0

Hi,

The release team is gathering comments from various teams to get a
proper idea of which of March or September 2010 is more appropriate for
the release of GNOME 3.0. The decision for the release date is following
what we set in the 3.0 planning document [1]: we want 3.0 to be out in
2010, but we also want to make sure that 3.0 is rock-solid; your input
will help us take an informed decision.

It'd be great if someone could summarize the status of the work that is
being done in your team, and how March or September would work for you.
We know that evo has been moving lately, and is still moving a lot, so
we think it's important to get your input!

Thanks,

Vincent

PS: make sure to cc the release team for the reply ;-)

The Evolution team has put a great deal of effort into moving off of
deprecated libraries and API, which (except for the GnomeCanvas issue)
we're just about finished with.

Migrating Evolution and E-D-S off of Bonobo has been a seismic shift for
the project, and while we're still dealing with some aftershocks I think
we're on track for having the remaining issues worked out by 2.30, if
not sooner.

So I think we could be ready for a March release of GNOME 3.0 if that's
what release team decides on.

That said, historically "rock-solid" and "Evolution" are seldom used in
the same sentence, and I know that we could certainly benefit from an
extra six months to focus on polishing and bug-fixing.
