It sounds like GNOME Shell will likely not integrate with GNOME 2.30. How are users expected to turn on/enable GNOME Shell? At the Boston Summit, I remember people suggesting that there should be a checkbox in the Preferences->Appearance capplet that the user can check it to start using GNOME Shell. Is this the plan? Whatever such interfaces are needed in the base desktop to provide end users with the ability to "switch" to GNOME Shell, I hope these interfaces make it into GNOME 2.30. Ideally, users should just need to install the new GNOME Shell, mutter, etc. modules and have their desktop "just work". Users should be able to enable GNOME Shell without needing to hack around with gconf-editor, .desktop files, etc. I think it will cause problems for adoption and testing if users need to reinstall patched versions of gnome-control-center (or whatever) in order to turn on GNOME Shell after installing the GNOME Shell packages. In terms of zeitgeist, there have not been any tarball releases as far as I can tell. If we are seriously considering adding zeitgeist into GNOME, I would think we should be starting to do more formal releases of the code. I would think the sooner the better.
