Here's some points that I'm writing down before I forget, and maybe I'll add some more later.
* NewStuffManager (henceforth NSM) is pretty cool. People are liking the idea, and e.g. Epiphany folks are interested in using it. * I still have security concerns about the current implementation, and these concerns will not be resolved by the 2.16 time frame. * Somebody suggested that NSM is quite similar to KDE's Get Hot New Stuff (http://dot.kde.org/1110652641/). Perhaps we should collaborate / merge / get funky under the freedesktop.org umbrella. * We are in 2.16 UI Freeze and approaching String Freeze. Messing around with the preferences dialog at this point will break these freezes. * One option is to punt all this new goodness for another 6 months (GNOME 2.18) to really make this puppy shine (and to get out of freeze). On the downside, this would mean that there's nothing new in stable deskbar-applet for another 6 months.
