What do you say if we go -sometime in the campaign- with a meme-like thing in the fashion of debunking myths. Really short posts or tweets about this common misinterpretations. For example: #gnome3 MYTH: you're forced to use gnome-shell; FACT: you can run gnome-panel+metacity if you prefer That would already help I think. They key being short and concise, because we can go on and elaborate on the future of stuff, but people care about (meaning: will only read) the yes/no to their question. I guess we could even have a funky critter to associate, but that might be bikeshedding :P. -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
