Is someone willing to go through archives and talk to the people close to the decision to try to document the features and rationale? That was my plan for the shell design page. I'm familiar with most of the design principles as well as the documentation which has been produced. I can also dredge the lists, and I can harass Jon and Jimmac if it comes down to it. :) Sri's comments earlier in this thread point to the desire for an evidence base or some kind of research into the shell.

Hi, Sriram Ramkrishna wrote: Yes, if you're defining developers as maintainers of core modules. Unfortunately, people will go into deskop-devel because there is no community mailing list that they can go to. So they will participate in the forum that they believe has the audience they seek. Unless you close DDL of course. It is not the job of the mailing lists to provide an expert audience to non-experts who want to complain to them. If we need to moderate d-d-l to reclaim it for Real Work, then so be it. How about creating a forum or something and keep such people out of the regular mailing lists instead? http://www.gnomesupport.org could use more visibility some official community buy-in. A more active Development forum would be useful.

Hi, I just pushed a couple small updates to the Friends website[1]. I updated the sidebar to be add updates from 2010, including a11y, usability and hiring a sysadmin. (It was showing 2008 stuff!)

Also, in your post on GCI, you said you would provide emails that I could send this to. There is the gugmasters list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gugmasters-list - but I think if you mail the list, you will not get a good response rate. Worth trying - but if you don't get a good response rate, we can try send an email to each member individually. Perhaps I could do it on your behalf... The other contacts are those in this wiki page. The list of lists you point to is OK, but bear in mind that mailing a list is hit miss at best. You might get a better response rate by sending an email to the Contact field, if it's set. The French one is definitely out of date, though :) You should contact Vincent Untz instead. There is also a GNOME developing world list: developing-world-list - I don't really know who's on it. You will need to be persistent, and make sure you keep us posted on what groups you have information for, and which you don't, when information starts coming in. Thanks!

Gnome or GNOME?
OK, I'm a bit confused here. For some reason I thought we had decided to go from GNOME to Gnome as GNOME is no longer considered an abbreviation. Is this true? It just seems that we seem to be using the two interchangeably.
