Hi, I am sorry to ask this question only now, but I was in a huge discussion about GnomeShell, and I discovered that many people, including me, haven't got a clear vision of the Gnome3 final objectives neither the ways to achieve them. Everybody is agree to say that is a complete rewriting of the interface, but nobody knows in which direction.
The two documents, that we have found, provide a list of research points, and a few questions to ask, but they don't give a clear vision of the objectives. A simple intention note, in few lines, may help us to easily understand the main goals. We need a quickly description of the objectives, the main principals and some technical means to achieve them. I think,that it can be useful that everybody work in the same way. Most of the questions, propositions, comments, and open bugs can be avoid if everybody clearly understand the project. I think also it is necessary to have a wiki page which enumerate all design stuff with states (implemented, spec frozen, proposal finalization , brainstorming/mockup...). If the documents already exist, a simpler access will be appreciate, everyone should read them before testing Gnome-Shell. Many people (including me) want to make gnome-shell better and it would be more efficient for us to focus on the right way from the start.
