GNOME 2.24 roadmap released

The roadmap for GNOME 2.24 (and beyond) is out. There will be a lot of stuff in the next release, including Epiphany's WebKit migration, "unified account management" in Evolution, XRandR 1.2 support, Empathy, Conduit, and a decision on a new distributed version control system.

2.24, not 2.4. 2.4 was released in Sept. 2003.

Any idea why the WebKit migration?

I guess it might be nice to have easy access to a Safari-like rending engine to test against.

WebKit is just easier to integrate, since it's designed to be embedded and Gecko really is not
designed for embedding.  There was a long article on the topic here at LWN recently.

See WebKit rising, published here at the beginning of this month.

RandR 1.2 support, not XRandR. xrandr is the command line tool to play with the RandR X
extension.

Probably 'twill be "bzr vs git", maybe "vs hg" a bit.  bzr so far seems heavily broken to me,
but guess that's quite probable *somehow*...

What do you mean 'heavily broken'? It is used for various projects, so it isn't broken. Please
be concrete.
