Hi Link,
The editors saw your post pitch/draft on GNOME 3.28 features and approved it. Can you work on this for a publication in the next week or two?
Sure. I was planning on "porting" the upstream GNOME release notes to Fedora's implementation. I suppose it's time I upgrade to F28. ^_^
I also wanted to cover the removal of desktop icons from Nautilus. I know it's controversial, but I believe that if we can get that news out and into the hands of users ahead of the release, the potential fallout and pitchforking will be less severe.

I don't disagree at all. I think we'll likely get some trolling in the incoming comments, but typically we just trash those.
Editors,
I wrote a section about the desktop icon removal. The rest of the article is still being written, but this section is particularly hot. I'd like to get as much input and attention as possible on it. Could someone take a look?

Update to this article plan.
The talking points[1] are a much more concise list and description of features more suitable for a "What's New" article. I will leave that as a separate article to be drafted or written by whomever.
The content of *this* article has possibly changed too. My main motivation for writing a "GNOME 3.28 features" article was to create a medium to communicate some contentious changes to Nautilus in 3.28. Upon feedback from some of the folks on the GNOME engagement team, I have rewritten the section on desktop icons as a much longer piece. I feel like it might be worthy of an article on its own. My draft is here[2].
I can either propose it as a standalone article, or include it in a summary of GNOME 3.28 features. Is this worthy of an article by itself?

I made an editorial pass on the Files article and it seems ready for tomorrow: https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=20949&preview=1&_ppp=4d97a48977
The tweaks were mainly for readability (shorter sentences, breaking up paragraphs slightly, less passive voice where possible), and adding some subheadings. I also added a screenshot of the Starred feature.
