GNOME 2.0 Desktop Beta PACKAGES DUE: Monday, 14th January
---------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,

Packages for the first 2.0 Desktop beta are due on Monday, 14th January. By
my (admittedly awkward antipodean) calendar, this is in 6 days.

Please begin preparing your packages now. If you have the opportunity to
release before the 14th - even if you end up making another closer to the
date - it would help the release team's QA tasks immensely. Updated platform
libraries are particularly good candidates to get out of the way quickly.

  Feature and enhancement ChangeLogs (against 1.x) to accompany your
  packages will make you stand out from the crowd, attract members of the
  appropriate sex, and bless you with interesting fortune cookies for the
  rest of your life. [1]

Please post areas that need work, or cries for help in reply to this email.
One obvious module that requires more contributors is Nautilus; please refer
to the mailing list and Darin for things to do. In general:

Thanks,

- Jeff (on behalf of the release team)
