Launching Settings
The user help has these instructions for launching each Settings panel (with Network as an example): 1. Open the Activities overview and start typing Network. 2. Click on Network to open the panel. The reason for this was that not everyone gets the same icon on the Settings button in the system menu (the way I always launch Settings). Network used to be the first hit in the search, but now I get three app icons before it and it shows up in the list part of the search results. Wi-Fi is now a separate panel, so the manual network settings instructions, for instance, are getting ridiculous: 1, 2 above, then if you don't have a wired connection, click Wi-Fi in the left pane. Is there a better way to describe launching settings? Mike ___ gnome-doc-list mailing list gnome-doc-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list

Pre-hackfest feature list for 3.8
Brief summary by aday posted to the marketing list today. Allan says he might be at DevConf, so we can pick his brain in person again. Mike There is already a long list of new features for the next release. Going through them all, I think we can be confident that it will be fairly strong. Looking at the list of improvements, there are a few themes that stand out to me: * Settings - there will be at least three new settings panels (search, notifications, privacy) as well as reworked panels for power, network and color. There has been a huge amount of work invested. * There's a new story for search, with a new interface in the shell and the new settings panel. This is a new and highly visible integration point for applications. * Applications - Web, Documents, Contacts and Clocks are all getting a decent amount of work this cycle. * Polish - Every Detail Matters has been extremely successful this cycle. We also have Owen Taylor's graphics performance work and a new kind of pressure sensitivity for actions like the hot corner and triggering the Message Tray. There's also been a lot of work to refine and consolidate the big new features we had in 3.6, such as input methods integration and the lock screen. Oh, and the window selection part of the Activities Overview has been massively improved. ___ gnome-doc-list mailing list gnome-doc-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list

Boxes docs
There was a question on #docs early this morning about documentation for Boxes. At this point there are a few pages (almost all by Baptiste). This is being done separately from Boxes development and will be merged (we had hoped in time for 3.6). Baptiste transcribed the hackfest notes and I created a gitorious repository with access for the gnome-documentation team. Details are up to date here: https://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Tasks/ApplicationHelp Having said that, my various Boxes installations have gone from roughly working, the way they were at the hackfest, to not working at all since 3.4 came out. Other than the theoretical stuff, this makes it tricky to document. If anyone is inclined, you're welcome to consult thenotes and add pages.
