Feedback on Gnome 3
Is there any mechanism to give feedback on Gnome 3? Do we have a such plan? To get user feedback and check whether Gnome 3 is success or not? Any chance of running a survey.

Re: getting a domain of srilanaka.gnome.org
The point is that I don't understand the needs / requirements. For instance, latest email specifies 'community building'. We might set up something which might not be beneficial. -- Regards, Olav Why we localize? Why we market the product? Why do we release parties? Lets develop the product with minimal effort. is it ok? what the mater of creating the a subdomain and publishing the content? > I don't get it. I asked if basic HTML is enough, it was.

I am contributing to Gnome for several years as l10n coordinator and also conducting workshops around the country. As you all know l10n dashboard is ok for l10n but not for other Gnome fans from my community. We can post about upcoming and completed events as well as Gnome specific information in our own language. This is kind of long term plan, yes we can use external resources such as blogspot or WP but its not good for Gnome branding. Anyway I would like to keep the same Gnome.org theme on the srilanka.gnome.org portal as well.

"OK"? It's more than welcome, and trunk is the best choice as GNOME 2.24.0 (current trunk) will be packaged on September 22th.
