GNOME 3.8 Release Notes
Hi all, I'm in the process of writing the release notes and they're going pretty well. One thing we should discuss is the headline feature list: this is the list of features that we want to highlight in the notes and other marketing materials. So far my draft list looks like: * Windows View (improved thumbnails, easier window switching) * Application View (new section for frequently used and application folders) * Search (new search view can integrate any application, plus there's the new search settings) * Privacy sharing (new settings, connects well with our privacy campaign) * Clocks (new app) * Improved animation rendering (courtesy of Owen - http://blog.fishsoup.net/) * Classic mode * Initial setup * Details (highlighting the work of Every Detail Matters this cycle) * Settings (lots of updates to the control center) * Input methods (plenty of updates here too) So that's 11 items, which is probably a bit too many. The weakest features (from a marketing perspective) are probably initial setup, details, settings and input methods. Any opinions on what should be demoted?

Re: Release Notes Time!
Some of you have been awesome and have given me nice notes on what you did over the past 6 months. The rest of you are very bad people. There is time to redeem yourselves, but the window of opportunity is closing.

Re: GNOME 3.8 Release Notes
If you've not received any suggestions yet, what about combining two of the first three in your list to make a GNOME 3.8 Top 10 of sorts?

Re: GNOME 3.8 Release Notes
Hi ! Hmm, the other feature that I think is quite remarkable is the integration with ownClown in terms of supporting free cloud computing. I haven't tried myself yet, but I think it is worth to mention. Not sure if it must be in the main highlight feature list, but sure it needs some special attention.

annual report deadline is here!
Hi all! We're coming up on the first deadline for the annual report tomorrow. Please upload as much content as you have so we can so we can assess where we are! I've got 2 that I'm responsible for (one that will wait until after I read all of yours!) Shaun, where we on the financial section? Do we need to extend the deadline? Of all of the sections, I don't think we can go ahead without this one. Tobi, do you think you can put some membership stats together for us? I'm sorry, I didn't realize that there was no owner for that really important topic! karen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
