展望 GNOME 2.30

开发工作不会止于 GNOME 2.28。GNOME 2.30 的开发工作已经展开,它将在 2.28 发布的六个月后如约到来。

对于 GNOME 3.0 等价于 GNOME 2.30(2010年3月发布) 或是 GNOME 2.32(计划于2010年9月发布)将于 2009年11月上旬决定。这一决定将基于 GNOME 应用程序和函数库的开发进程而决定。

GNOME 2.30 will continue to provide the desktop platform and applications it always has, and will also potentially feature a new user interface in GNOME Shell and the GNOME Activity Journal which easily helps you browse and find files on your computer. For developers, GNOME 2.30 deprecates a number of old libraries.

A preview of GNOME Shell is available in 2.28 and is available for download. GNOME Shell features an innovative new user interface using the power of a composited desktop. GNOME Shell makes it easy to add additional workspaces, start frequently used applications, and access your most used files and documents.

The GNOME Activity Journal is a tool for easily browsing and finding files on your computer. It keeps a chronological journal of all file activity and supports tagging and establishing relationships between groups of files. The GNOME Activity Journal is the graphical user interface for Zeitgeist, the engine that tracks all activity in the desktop with support for tagging and bookmarking items.

Tomboy 在线也计划在 GNOME 2.30 时发布,并允许用户通过网络访问并同步他们的便笺。
