“So, waiting for Project Ridley to come to the rescue is not going to cut it anymore: if you are proposing to move some functionality from a library to GLib or GTK+ be prepared to work on the whole code and not only on your pet feature.” — Emmanuele Bassi, Of Angels and Angles on improving the GTK+/GNOME platform

Platform hacking has been culturally unsexy since GNOME 2.0, but in recent times, has become one of the most important and exciting areas of the project. There are also lots of jobs around for great GNOME platform hackers, so if you want to earn a crust doing cool GNOME hacking, these are the skills to have.
