Can we have at least 1-2 talking points "end-users" (i.e. not developers
and sysadmins) would actually care? You know, *desktop features*.
Hi Nicu,
The current feature list is indeed a little bit .. ahem... lacking on the end-
user front, you're right, honestly.
The creation of Fedora's marketing talking points is mostly an ad-hoc process
done by, well, anyone who is interested at all, marketing, or ambassadors, or
infra, or design or... :)
So, I guess the question then, what do *you* want to see that attracts "end-
users"? :) Granted, Fedora 14 won't ship Firefox 4 (your biggest
disappointment I'd guess, based on your blog post[1]), but there has to be
*something* that users will care about? Anything new in microblogging on the
GNOME end? What about in evolution or gnome-games or ...? (I'm just listing
off random ideas... I'm not a GNOME Desktop Edition user, and probably dont
have much to give to the "end-user" experience discussion outside of the KDE
Plasma Desktop Edition release.)
Also, since it was delayed, should not we take GNOME 3 out of the
features list?
I think that's more of a FESCo decision, correct? I'd assume
that it'd be
taken out, and the fallback provisions (shipping GNOME 2, basically, with
GNOME 3 still labelled as "experimental") would be followed...
All the best,
Ryan
