I will be proposing it for the fd.o platform.

What are the situations with hal and d-bus? Are these in the GNOME
desktop suite, or fd.o platform?

I think Galago has a lot of value in several applications. I would
like to see it in a position where GNOME apps can depend on it and
expect it to be there.

What would be the best way to go about doing this in your mind? I'm
still rather new to the release processes and stuff.

Thanks,
