GNOME 3 was designed as a general purpose desktop, appropriate for all the things that GNOME 2 was appropriate for. It should work very well for sysadmins and other enterprise roles, better than GNOME 2, in fact. <snip> > What we do want is to give the impression that this is where > enterprise desktops should go.

This is really important. To many people, GNOME 3 might seem like it is just for netbooks or home users. We need to dispel that impression. One thing that we can do is emphasise productivity in our marketing materials. I did a bad job at this when I wrote the gnome3.org content, and I've been meaning to update it for a while. The message is already present in the release notes, though. The other thing we could do - and this is something I'd really like to see - is have a testimonials page for gnome3.org. Does anybody fancy taking this on? Any other ideas?
