For GNU Classpath, we now have one proposal in a pretty much finished state that
I would regard as needing an essential slot ('[GNU Classpath] Port the
GTK+ AWT support').
I believe we are also expecting two more proposals before the deadline
in ~8 hours, so I'd
expect our final total to be 2 essential, 1 desirable, from my
discussions with the other mentors.
