I was afraid of mentioning the 'm' word, but that was indeed a main
motivator behind the push for finishing up those branches

I'm torn. I like the changes too: it looks like a good improvement. But
it's a pretty major UI change in a significant component of the desktop
shell, and going in very late in the release cycle. I'd prefer to save
it for 3.26 to give users more time to comment on the change. So I
won't give +1 myself, but I also won't block it if someone else wants
to give the second +1.

I concur. +1 for the release team from me.

Freeze break request for gnome-shell

2017-02-28 Thread Florian Müllner 
Hey everyone,

I'd like to land some improvements to the date+time drop-down before
entering beta. The bugs in question are:

 * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754031
   which adds weather information according to the location configuration
   from gnome-weather. This has been fairly high on the wishlist for a while
   (at least since 3.16), so I'm sure this will be a very welcome addition
   (and I'm sorry I only found time recently to finish up the patches)

  Note to translators:
   There's a big patch that adds non-capitalized versions of
libgweather's condition
   strings. We will not land this, so there'll be a moderate eight additions.


 * https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775763
   which streamlines the notification area's visuals according to Allan's latest
   mockups - see
https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2016/12/13/improving-notifications-in-gnome/

For reference, this is what the result looks like:
https://people.gnome.org/~fmuellner/gnome-shell-calendar-refresh.png

In my opinion, both items make for some nice polish improvements in
that area with low risk (the weather section is very isolated, and the
visual refresh is mostly a style update), so they would make for a
good (while late) 3.24 addition.

Cheers,
Florian
