Right, so here is what I suggest we could do to avoid a repeat of the feature proposal fiasko from last cycle: Instead of clamoring for feature proposals on desktop-devel-list, we, as the release team could go out and suggest waht we think would be great features to work on for the next cycle. Could be stuff like: 1) The message tray / notification redesign 2) Make geary our preferred email client. This would probably require - goa integration - make sure it works with our other supported mail providers in goa 3) Integrate HighContrast theme in GTK+, like we did for Adwaita. This requires solving the icon theme issue for gtk2 Of course, this still requires people to sign up and do the work... > > * Identify priority bugs at the start of the cycle.

Here are a few to seed the list: - the 'evolution password dialog' issue - the 'private message pits polari vs empathy' issue - the 'alt-tab vs fullscreen' issue > > If the RT is interested in trying this, I'd be happy to propose the > idea on d-d-l and see if I can get some buy-in.
