Walter, OK. The GCI tasks are supposed to be two hours work for an experienced developer and quantity of tasks completed counts (two things I only learned today. I should have read the mentoring instructions more carefully). Splitting up the tasks for GTK3 might improve the situation for Aneesh. The other tasks aren't as large.
