I always thought free software is ready when it is ready and not on
Saturday because someone says so. Did I misinterpret something?

What is the normal review process? Sorry, I don't read gnome-2-0-list
or gnome-hackers, but I'm not sure if readers of gtk-devel-list are
supposed to know what you mean by "normal review process". Is that the
"send a patch to the list to get it discussed and approved" review
process that is normally used for GTK+ and friends?


Salut, Sven
