GNOME 3.2.1 stable tarballs due -- elleuca
Hello all, Tarballs are due on 2011-10-17 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.2.1 stable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.2.1. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! For more information about 3.3, the full schedule, the official module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 3.3 page: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see: http://live.gnome.org/Schedule Thanks, ___ release-team@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?

Just to be sure: We're only talking about gnome-shell's password prompt
here, and not the password entry on the Wireless Security tab when you
edit a connection, right?

It doesn't appear we mention the switch in the help, so this won't
invalidate anything. I would like to add a note about right-clicking
to see the password to step 2 in net-wireless-connect.page. I can't
do that now, because gnome-user-docs is frozen for 3.2.1.
I'll give a docs team approval, with the understanding that we won't
add the note in the help until 3.2.2.

+1 from me, thanks for complete this for 3.2.1

I've been wanting to add a "What's New" page to all our help for some time now. When people upgrade, they can just quickly look at the help to see what cool new stuff they're getting. People don't necessarily upgrade every six months, so keep the old news in there and rotate it out after maybe four releases. That's simple enough for application help, but for the desktop we'd have to put more thought into it. For example, our release notes talk about Epiphany's "Save as Application". Do we cover that in a desktop-wide "What's New", even though it would also be covered in Epiphany's? Nothing unsolvable. Just takes thought. As for an intro tutorial, I don't think any of our existing help pages are a fantastic first-time tutorial for GNOME 3. We have pages that tell you about the various pieces, and some overview pages, but nothing that compels you to work through it for five or ten minutes. For an intro, you want something that makes you do things, even if they're not things you were setting out to do right now. For example, it could have you add Cheese to the dash, then remove it again. And for that kind of thing, I think we could have something more fun and more interactive than a help page. -- Shaun ___ release-team@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?

Making release notes more useful - 'whats new ?'
Hey, so I have been thinking a bit about our documentation efforts and how to make the most out of the awesome work that is done in this area, as well as the release notes. Floating these ideas to the relevant lists before writing it down as a feature proposal seems like a good idea, so you can shoot it down early if it doesn't sound good. I think we should have a 'Here's whats new' summary that greets the user the first time he log in to a major new version. I guess this would be like the release notes, but shortened to to fit into a single screen. We could offer 'learn more...' links to the more extensive release notes from there. To make that work regardless of network, having the release notes installed together with the rest of the documentation would be good. We can also add a 'New to GNOME 3 ?' link that points to the Desktop Overview (something that we should have done for 3.0, really). Does this sound like a good idea ?
