Hi Chris,
              Looks good. I'll try target a few more GTK bugs later on today. I'm not sure if we will be able to target 50 directly from whats already in the GTK package bug lists. But as we have already found a lot of them are hidden away under other projects so it may take a little bit of detective work to uncover them.
Anyway I really like the direction we are heading for this realese, a lot of the bugs we have targets have been around for many many years so this papercuts release cycle should have a real impact on the user experence.

Keep up the good work guys,
Tim

Subject: [Papercuts-ninja] Milestone reorganisation.
 

Hey Ninjas,

In the meeting we had last week, we decided it would be a good idea to move our focus away from a handful of individual apps and onto the UI foundation technologies found in Ubuntu. This came up after a number of our Rhythmbox and Nautilus paper cuts turned out to be GTK+ bugs, so we decided that GTK and Compiz would be our primary target for this (and potentially all future) development cycles.

So I'm proposing the following
1) We allocate half a development cycle to GTK+, that is 50 paper cuts.
2) We allocate a quarter of a development cycle to Compiz, that is 25 paper cuts.
3) We allocate the remaining quarter of the cycle to the biggest, juiciest paper cuts we can find in Ubuntu's frontline apps.
4) I've also kept around the Rhythmbox and Nautilus milestones, since we had already started work on them.

I'd like to blog about this change in a couple of days, and before that I'd like to got some feedback from you lot. How does the new layout look?

What now
I've targeted a lot of bugs while reorganising the milestones, mostly to Nautilus, and it's probably that a lot of them are actually GTK+ bugs. We should take a look at the currently targeted ones and make sure they're where they're supposed to be.

As for the Compiz paper cuts, MRC1, if that is your real name, you mentioned the existence of a lot of simple Compiz paper cuts. Can you please target as many of these bugs that are also manifesting as paper cuts in Unity to the Compiz milestone?

Also, could our GTK+ ninjas please fill up the GTK+ milestone with as many paper cuts as possible? We've only got a few and I'm sure there's tons of them out there.

So, thoughts anyone?

Chris
