Stuff I'd like to see us think about
1 - Sonar theme in there and possibly as default - as great as -shell looks normally I like the idea of openSUSE being different from the pack. 2 - Extensions - as happy as I am with alt-status-menu installed by default, it does feel like a dirty little cludge and extensions.gnome.org changes the field of play. Points I want us to consider for 12.2 - How should we package extensions in the future? how can we encourage people to use extensions.o.o? can we still install extensions globally and set them by default? If a packaged and default extension like alt-status-menu doesn't make sense in this new world, how do we educate about the Alt key - do we need a first run splash like KDE? 3. Options - the never ending GNOME push for simplification isn't totally bad but I find myself annoyed at some options I feel are 'missing' in 3.2 - for example no longer being able to change what my power button does without hacking into dconf-editor. As a distro that generally caters for a more technical user is this wholly bad, or can we find a way to re-expose a number of these settings? is adding them to advanced settings/Tweak tool the way to go? Can we get tweak tool integrated into System Settings? 4. Online integration - what's the point of having twitter there when nothing uses the setting? Is there a way we can expose epiphany's awesome Web application feature without needing the user to run epiphany? Could we use it to create pre-defined shortcuts that could bring users to the various web applications of openSUSE (Forums, Paste, Software search, etc?) 4.5 - If we can point people to http://software.o.o for epiphany, do we need something like the Software Center, couldn't we just sex-up software.o.o? (and in the process make something better for all openSUSE users, not just GNOMErs) I think I've got a few other things bubbling away that I'd like us to think about but those are the top 4 that spring to mind..

We're getting some positive feedbacks (and also new bugs). I want to thank everyone who helped integrate GNOME for this release: I feel that it's the release where we got the most people helping out, and that's amazing! Let's keep that spirit! Btw, "helping out" is not just packaging / bug fixing, but it's really everything that contributes to making the GNOME team a well alive group of people. And now, what's next? 12.2 is going to be out around next July, and that will include GNOME 3.4.x. But that's all we know for sure. I'd love to hear what all of you would like us to achieve in the next 8 months. Of course we won't achieve everything, but setting a direction can't hurt :-) So, do you see this "reply" button in your mail client? Yes? Ok, click on it and go wild!
