Ubuntu 11.10 has been released so the focus is now on Trisquel to make some
big decisions about 5.5. As of right now, Trisquel's Gnome 2 based interface
is one of the better looking out there but the codebase for 11.10 has moved
to Gnome 3.
Looking at other teams, Mint is considering releasing two versions: one with
full Gnome 3 and the other with backported Gnome 2 or adopting the Mate
desktop environment. Trisquel users are like Mint users in many ways where
they are somewhat set in what they want from their desktop and dislike a lot
of what Gnome Shell and Unity have to offer.
With that in mind, has the Trisquel team thought about adopting Mate from

I know right now it is a fork of Gnome 2 and still early, but with Trisquel
5.5 and later, it would be nice to have a "classic" desktop with either
backported Gnome 2, Mate, or XFCE in addition to the default with Gnome Shell
or Unity.
