Better late than never, I think we should put together a press release. I believe it should be short and highlight at most 3 things/themes. Or at least the first paragraph should say everything important and highlight at most 3 things and then the rest of the press release can include more detail.
Here's the three I'd suggest just from reading the release notes: - First release of the GNOME Mobile development platform. GNOME mobile technologies are already used in a number of mobile solutions such as Maemo <http://maemo.org/>, the ACCESS Linux Platform<http://http//alp.access-company.com/>, the LiMo reference platform <http://www.limofoundation.org/>, Ubuntu Mobile <http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile>, Moblin<http://www.moblin.org/> and Poky <http://www.pokylinux.org/>. With this release, mobile developers can download all the GNOME technologies they need in one place. - A new suite of communication tools: audio/video conferencing (Ekiga), new instant messaging client (Empathy), even better digital tv, and deskbar plug-ins to bring the web and tools to your environment. (Might be better just to highlight audio/video conferencing tool.) - Continued support of the core GNOME values with enhanced accessibility features and support for developers. (Could list a few examples.) Here's the entire list of things I got from the release notes: - An instant messaging tool (Empathy) based on Telepathy. (Why is this better than other IM clients? Or why would I choose to use this one?) - Time/activity tracking. - Audio video conferencing (Ekiga) - File management improvements: compact view, tabs, better support for USB drives - Deskbar plug-ins: calculator, google search, Twitter/identica, Yahoo, Wikipedia - Screen resolution: easier control of multiple monitors - Sound themes based on Freedesktop.org specs which allows you do things like get your alerts even when using multimedia apps - Digital TV improvements: multiple tuners, (remote) text subtitling, high resolution YouTube videos - Contest for backgrounds (People always like to hear about contests and this one had pretty results so we could call it out at the end as a story.) - Continued accessibility improvements - Continued developer improvements - GNOME Mobile development platform Stormy
