According to the Gnome 3.2 schedule, API/ABI/Feature freeze is August 15th, so we should have our API frozen before then. The Gnome/KDE Desktop Summit is the week before, so let's target 0.6.0 for August 1st.

Good point. The Tracker backend is definitely the better one to experience maintainership as a third-party project as well. -Travis _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
