How should I read the summary? Fallback in 3.6 or not? Initially I thought keep still in 3.6, but re-reading the discussion I think everyone meant keep in 3.4, gone in 3.6? Anyone know how difficult it is to keep fallback a bit longer? At the moment not a lot of distributions have shipped GNOME 3 for long. So I wonder if we're moving too fast. Also, any point in being clear that gnome-panel+gnome-applets will still be around, the only change is that we don't support it? Then clarify why that is. I know the two modes are messy for various parts, but would be nice to have this documented so it is a bit more factual so others more easily understand. Think we should also send a summary to devel-announce-list, once everyone agrees on the message. Would love to get input of more distributions (fedora, opensuse, mageia, etc). Difficulty that some have not provided GNOME 3 yet (mageia, mint). -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
