Its schedule says: GNOME 2.16.0 should be released around September, which could give us time to do it if we coordinate well in advance with the release team. It would be quite an achievement to release Debian with a current GNOME version. :) One might think that this proposal might slip at least one month, although I really wish it won't. > March 15th GNOME 2.14.0 Final Release! > (http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirteen) > Where to go from here?

I think we should do a GNOME 2.12 cycle for unstable/testing as soon as Mozilla is sorted out for the remainings of 2.10. I think this team has lost much of the momentum we had just before Sarge, and packaging an alpha release for experimental so early might drain all the energies/new momentum that are being gathered with the final 2.10/2.12 efforts right now. We should only start packaging 2.13 when the beta comes out. Earlier tarballs are known to be quite buggy and we'd get a ton of bug reports, which further takes away from our limited development time.
