XML will be optional in the future if someone writes another +storage backend. + + There's an introductory article at +http://developer.gnome.org/feature/current/index.html, written a while ago +but mostly still valid. Also, there's a mailing list +gconf-list@gnome.org, see http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gconf-list |
