[Sugar-devel] Moving to GTK3 and GObject Introspection

[Gonzalo Odiard]

I have 3 questions:

1) Is the move to python 3 in your plans too? (I don't know if is included
in F15)
but if we need to break compatibility will be good break it one time.

2) Sugar theme: with the change to GTK3 we will need rewrite the Sugar
theme, right?
I think GTK3 use only cairo to draw the widgets, I don't know how is our
theme working,
and I don't know who can do this work.

3) I am not sure about the timing to do this work. I would be more
comfortable if we start
a planning period now, and start coding after 11.3.0 release.
