Looks great so far! Thanks for your work, Allan. * s/3.10/3.12 in a few places
In the Getting GNOME section: * Can we do have "<a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html"Free Software</a>" when you say "GNOME's software is Free Software" * Perhaps add something like "Keep an eye on http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ for downloads to distros which support GNOME 3.12" I'd reorder the prevalence of: * Software - fills a huge gap (for discoverability, ease-of-use, etc) that Ubuntu Software Center has filled for a long while * Popovers - very positive reaction from the interweb * Gedit - also positive reaction * Videos - very cool changes, but I'm unsure of Videos/totem's popularity, so it seems strange to see it front & center ( perhaps it should go in "New and Updated Applications") * Portability to non-GNU/Linux (maybe) - to give credence to the idea that, yes, GNOME & systemd are not trying to take over your beloved *nix in roughly that order. Also, an important fix for 3.12 is properly rotation touch screens when the display rotates. That was a show-stopper for me using 3.10. With more people using touchscreens, many will probably like to know this is fixed. Also, as Alex Diavatis mentioned before, can we be sure to make the release notes super available from gnome.org? Past releases have been terribly hard to find (I actually use google to find them, each time). -Hashem On 03/17/2014 07:54 PM, Allan Day wrote: > Hi all, > > I completed the first draft of the 3.12 release notes earlier today. > There's been a snag getting them online, so if you'd like to see what > they look like, I've uploaded an archive with the source files here: > > https://cloud.gnome.org/public.php?service=files&t=bcb5f9538c75737a18a82dc691ceb94e > > Once you've extracted the archive, just open index.page with Yelp (I > usually do this from the terminal, but you can probably do it from > nautilus). > > I am aiming to get the notes finalised tomorrow (that's Tuesday).
