GNOME 2.10 new module list

Here it is, courtesy desktop-devel-list:

Accepted:
* gnome-backgrounds
* gnome-doc-utils
* gnome-menus
* sound-juicer (pending feedback from Ross)
* totem

The big new thing for this release is Totem (with the GStreamer backend, much thanks to Ronald Bultje). Also a new 3-menu layout (using shiny and new menu code based on the freedesktop menu spec), and a default set of backgrounds.

Sound-Juicer may be pulled since SJ2 (the one that plays CDs as well as rips) will not be finished in time for 2.10. gnome-doc-utils is a dependency for the new branch of yelp which uses gecko instead of gtkhtml2 for rendering. This causes major a11y regressions which may not be accepted in 2.10.

So, a media player, new menus, and backgrounds. Not exactly a star-studded release. Still, there are many great things coming down the pike, like beagle, and cairo as well as wider use of DBUS, HAL, and GStreamer (notice something common in those URLs?). I'd say we have an awesome time ahead of us.

Also, gnome-blog seems to want to put the topic in the body for blogger. Somewhat annoying.
