Pretty half baked if ask me.  There is no "include it at a later date,
or next release" option, as that is just trying to get something out the

problem, then include the replacement, in this case, a widget or
whatever, which I am assuming is like Windows is currently using.  At
least *they* didn't leave that type stuff out when introduced a new OS.
Oh wait, they *still* have the option of weatherbug, etc to still be
included as applets.

Patches welcome. Alternatively, you could pay someone to write it who already isn't spending every spare, waking moment working on getting GNOME 3 ready. Your email isn't particularly helpful though.


This isn't bout gnome-shell being bad, it's lot better than was when F14
was being developed.  This is bout making a total major change to a
major part of the OS, and not including all the options to replace those
no longer being used.  If lot of this is gonna be included before F15
goes gold, then good, will patiently wait for it.  If we have to wait
for lot of this stuff, then what good is it to push it out the door when
it's not ready?

It will be considered "ready" without widgets.
