[Mono-list] GTKsharp 3

[Daniel Hughes]

I have managed to gain the following information from this bug report:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648121

The banshee port to GTK# 3 is complete they are just waiting for a release
of GTK # 3 (as of 3 months ago, from Comment 8)

Mike is the maintainer of GTK# but he doesn't have any time to work on
it (according to Comment 7). I'm not sure who this Mike is but if he
doesn't have time to maintain it, is the project then in need of a new
maintainer?

I still have not been able to establish where the GTK# 3 code is hosted. If
I knew that I could start trying to port my application, submit bug reports
and even contribute any fixes I require.

I would also like to know who is in a position to issue a release. I can't
see why a release shouldn't happen straight away so that us app developers
and go ahead and attempt to port our applications. The most effect way to
kill a opensource project (or any project) is to never release.
