Re: Epiphany release notes
Hi Claus, Op di, 05-09-2006 te 01:23 +0200, schreef Claus Schwarm: No mentioning of Firefox. Maybe we can use the following line in the release notes? You can now check the spelling of the text entered in the Epiphany web browser, when it is built with a Firefox 2.0 (or equivalent) back-end. Or Epiphany now uses the latest technology from Mozilla.org to let you check the spelling of text entered in the web browser. The spell checker needs a Firefox 2.0 (or equivalent) back-end to work. Sounds better? I don't think we should be getting any deeper into technical details... Btw, Epiphany is mentioned a second time in the backends section as one of the GNOME applications that switched to the new printing dialog. Right, I hadn't noticed that. I know I won't make friends with the next sentence but honestly: I see no reason to give Epiphany more space in the release notes *this time*. :-( Well, I can see how it's reasonable to allocate more space to components with more visible new features. It's just that web publishing space is cheap :) However the release notes should not be so long that people give up reading half way. Do you think that would be the case? important. Since I have problems to understand the first item in your release notes, I'm only good enought to represent an outsider point of view. OK, so maybe that part needs rephrasing too. What it means is that, in contrast to previous versions, the back-button-history is preserved in a new tab or window when you open it from a link on some webpage. Say that you've visited sites A, B and C and are now viewing site X. Site X contains a link to site Y but you decide you'd rather view site Y in a different tab. You could copy the Y address to the clipboard, paste it in the address bar and press Ctrl+enter to have it open in a new tab (this functionality was polished in 2.16 too, by the way). Then the history under the Back button for site Y is empty. But you could also right click the link to Y and select 'Open in new tab'. Then sites A, B and C will now be available in the back-history of site Y as well as site X. regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Epiphany release notes
Hi all, This evening the release notes for Epiphany 2.16 were drafted, see http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/RelNotes216 It was pointed out to me by Vincent Untz on irc that preliminary release notes were already on line at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/notes/C/rnfeatures.html. I noticed that there is only one line on Epiphany there, and what it states isn't even entirely correct. You can now check the spelling of the text entered in the Epiphany web browser. is only true when a firefox 2.0 back-end is used. So my question is: what do we need to do to get some more text and a screenshot into the official release notes? Thanks! regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
Re: release notes: first draft
Hi, Op Sat, 11 Mar 2006 14:23:56 -0800, schreef Bob Kashani: Should we update them? We probably should. (...) I couldn't help but notice that the screenshot on the main page has a Firefox icon on the toolbar, and that the screenshot of the Preferred Applications capplet shows Firefox to be the preferred browser. While this is a minor issue, I'd like to propose that at least the latter screenshot is changed to show Epiphany. As can be read elsewhere in the release notes, Epiphany has gained some exciting new functionality in this release, so there is every reason to promote it in our public statements, including screen shots :-) regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen (obviously biased Epiphany team member) -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Bookmarks not so easy to share
Hi all, On behalf of the Epiphany developers I'd like to request that the feature item Bookmarks can be easily shared over the network. is left out of the release notes, as it's a bit overly optimistic and not quite accurate. The problem is that this feature needs a zeroconf-enabled gnome-vfs and this is not enabled by default because of some license issue. Even if you have that, it takes a bit of hand-work to get the bookmark sharing feature to actually share bookmarks over the local network. Sorry for the inconvenience caused, but it's better not to promise something and not deliver on it. regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
right-click
Hi, me again. The release notes talk about the Nautilus right-click menu. This is wrong for several reasons - it should be a context menu.

Re: Software freedom day
Hi, We're a little late on the get-go, but I think we should do something for Software Freedom Day - http://softwarefreedomday.org/ - September 10th this year. FWIW, some Dutch and Belgian GNOME volunteers will be present at a local SFD event in Tilburg, The Netherlands. As a side note, we are planning to have our own localized Live CD's and promotional materials printed, but we're having trouble funding it all. Is there some place we might ask for assistance? regards, -- Reinout van Schouwen *** student of Artifical Intelligence email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]*** mobile phone: +31-6-44360778 www.vanschouwen.info *** help mee met GNOME vertalen: nl.gnome.org -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
