Hey Stormy, I completely agree, just a few questions for clarification. what would you like for us to convey in the blog posts about gnome 3? Just that change happens and its badly needed? There is still a lot of confusion in the community what is going to be included in gnome 3. Its a redesign of the desktop experience but will it just be the main interface or will programs follow suit and use clutter too? Is zeitgeist going to be included as part of the default gnome stack? Ill write something up and do some screenshots if the release team can answer these questions.
