Hi, 2009/9/24 Stormy Peters sto...@gnome.org: Awesome! I added some thoughts under microblogging and news articles. I'm rather tired so I'm not sure I'm the one that should be proof reading ... I didn't know how to find the link to a specific dent on identi.ca.

Re: Spreading the word about 2.28
I like both ideas. Snappy, funny phrases are not necessarily my strength, but here are some to get people going: (Borrowing from the release notes ...) * GNOME 2.28 - supported by Friends of GNOME * GNOME has more friends than ever - join with GNOME 2.28 * Become unwired - Bluetooth in GNOME 2.28 * Out of time and don't know why? Try Time Tracker in GNOME 2.28 * Cheese! Manage your pictures while traveling. Use Cheese on your netbook with GNOME 2.28. * Need to annotate PDFs? Try Evince on GNOME 2.28! And my art work would definitely be painful, so I let someone else start that! (I'll start working on my blog post that needs a banner!)

Re: Spreading the word about 2.28
Maybe a theme around sharing GNOME 2.28 - Learning to Share * Share your Bluetooth devices (Bluetooth to computer, Bluetooth phones sharing internet access) * Empathy - Share your location, Share your desktop * Cheese - Share your photos from your webcam I'm not very creative, that's all I've got.
