Re: Build System

Hi Gary,

  I guess we have a couple of hundred users on Pidgin 3 and there are no 
other complaints than the notification system is pretty much broken in 
3.0 on Ubuntu. Besides that Pidgin 3 works pretty darn well for our users.


But I guess we might be a corner case here. I know that lots of users in 
other companies are just using 2.x.y as you say.

Would you know if the 3.0 release blockers are cleaned up? Is there a 
authoritative list I perhaps could point some of our developers to and 
have a look and see if they can contribute with something?

Regards,

Niklas
