Hi all, I think the focus in this thread is a little imbalanced. I think we really, really need to focus on actually decided on what Topaz is going to be. I feel that the lack of direction in the project to say "this is what will be in Topaz" is actually starting to harm us - it is making us look like we can't make decisions.
Much of the problem is that huge infrastructure changes cannot be easily hacked on by a single person to gain enough momentum to become Topaz. Sure, I have my idea of how Topaz should work, and I have blogged about how the GNOME desktop should be contextual to a project, and I also fleshed out ideas of interface with MacSlow at GUADEC. But, I think need to sit down, and make hard decisions about what is happening with Topaz. There are distinctive connections and threads of similarity between what people seem to want to achieve, and this seems to large fall into the domain of people as top-level objects and such. But, I think we need to get a core bunch of us together to sit down, thrash out some ideas and actually start scoping out what GNOME 3.0 should look like. I have a huge interest in usability, and Jokosher is a product of an application domain re-thought around usability - I think we need to decide on this before we start a flamewar about release scheduling.
