It's not a glamorous suggestion, but I strongly suggest that we focus our efforts on fixing everything that we (mostly I!) have broken through the underlying infrastructure changes and then taking advantage of the new capabilities.
We've had a few years now of basically ensuring that we can compile on Gtk+ 3 systems, and now we've flipped the switch so that we require them. It's time now to work through every feature, every dialog and a wide range of workflows and check: (a) they still work correctly (b) they still look and feel good (or better!), and (c) whether Gtk+ 3 offers us new opportunities to do things better... e.g., better tablet/multi-touch support, better support for context menus, smarter use of UI and icon themes...
This is a good idea, but it will require a solid organisation of the task. I'm talking lists of todos, someone to hunt for people to help with work (because it will need multiple eyes) and since we'll be looking at dialogs and ui, maybe some simple easy ui changes too.
Would you be willing to be the checklist generator and check marker for this kind of task Alex?
