What is the Ubuntu 16.03, 16.05, 15.11, etc? I was typing Ubuntu 16.04 and accidentally typed 16.03. I saw things like Ubuntu 16.03, 16.05, 16.01 on launchpad. They were milestones relating to the next Ubuntu release. What is this about?
I have been wanting to develop some Gnome Shell extensions since they are just in javascript, however I have been looking and there is practically zero documentation, everywhere I look people just say to use the basic Gnome documentation, but this does NOT help, I can not find any documentation for the imports for extensions, or any kind of javascript api for the extension development, I tried looking through some of the tutorials (most of which are for Gnome 3.0, not 3.2), but nothing is helping.
Does anyone know if they are in progress of writing documentation for extension development? I would really love some good documentation...
I just can't find a decent (and free) one. What can I use?
What is the difference between upstream and downstream when referring to who (or where) to go to as a developer or packager?
at college we use Microsoft .NET for developing applications. I recently switched to Ubuntu and would like to know similar tools for making apps on/for ubuntu.
