I would also like to add an item regarding making sure the 0.90
release works properly with all the upcoming changes (deprecations
being the big one) for the gnome-3 release. In 0.88 for Sugar on a
Stick we saw the start of these issues with the issues with Read, its
possible this could only get worse over the next 6 months. It would
also be worth looking at things like dconf for the things that are
currently stored in GConf.

It would be worthwhile updating the default jhbuild config to reflect
the gnome minimum versions covering the usual gnome suspects and
gstreamer / telepathy etc. as that should make it easier for
developers to pick up issues over the coming months sooner rather than
later.

Cheers,
Peter
