================================
GNOME 2.19.5 Development Release
================================

This is our fifth development release on our road towards GNOME
2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are
still arriving, so your mission is simple : Go download it. Go compile
it. Go test it.  And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it.

Lots of modules have great plans for 2.19 and if you're willing to
help, there's a lot of areas where you'll be heartily welcomed! Don't
hesitate to ask how or where you can help. If you don't even know
where to start, just send a mail to our fantastic gnome-love mailing
list.

To compile GNOME 2.19.5, you can use GARNOME
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/garnome/, which supports users and has
additional/different modules available), or the jhbuild
(http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html) modulesets (which use the
exact tarball versions from the official release) available at:

     http://download.gnome.org/teams/releng/2.19.5/

are available. Go read them to learn all the goodness of this release:

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
--------------------------

This release is a snapshot of development code. Although it is
buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking
purposes.  GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate
development status.

For more informations about 2.19, the full schedule, the official
module lists and the proposed modules list, please see our new shiny
2.19 page:
http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable/
or take a look at the abbreviated schedule reminder page at
http://live.gnome.org/Schedule

We hope you'll love it,

Elijah Newren:

I can't wait to start programming GNOME. I have absolutely no programming experience, but I think I will work on the PHP API. This is great, how uneducated morons (with no concept of design) can add code to GNOME.

I am hoping to contribute to the community some really bad and untested software -- maybe even retarded software. I'm thinking if I reverse the standard OK and CANCEL buttons (like GNOME does), it will work?

I bought a "PHP For Dummies" book today, and I'm ready to start programming GNOME. My PHP scripts aren't working quite right, but that's OK. I know GNOME can use my programming skills. Maybe I can add my own API to GNOME?

?!?

Now what is the purpose of this comment?!? OK, gnome is for morons. We've
heard that line. OK, it might not have the best API out there. Newsflash:
everybody knew that one as well. Looks like starting a flamewar didn't
work either ;-)
