Francesco asked me to add to this FFE request, so here's my list of reasons, why I believe current Onboard 0.97.1 should be superseded.

Onboard v0.98...
- uses Python 3 by default and drops all Python 2 dependencies (if not told otherwise)
- is compatible with Quantal's Xinput 2.2 (scanner)
- is compatible with Quantal's libdconf1 (migration of preferences)
- moved its gsettings path from apps.onboard to org.onboard, as requested (LP: #982699)
- stacks on top of Unity Dash again (Dash window name changed)

There aren't many new features this time, the most notable perhaps being support for key shadows and dwell-enabling the floating icon. Most work has concentrated on Word Prediction, which isn't ready for widespread release yet.

The usual number of assorted bug fixes and enhancements include better multi-monitor support, better working "Menu" and "Super" keys and keeping Onboard on top of full-screen windows (force-to-top mode in Unity only).

Testing was done in Unity, GNOME Shell and GNOME Classic, but no more in Unity-2d, since it was dropped from Quantal recently.
