Change owner(s): Kalev Lember <kalevlember at gmail.com>

Update GNOME to the latest upstream release, 3.16.

== Detailed Description ==
The new features for 3.16 include:

* Notification redesign in gnome-shell [1]
* Improvements in nautilus UI [2]
* New games: gnome-2048 and gnome-taquin
* Improved GTK+ and gnome-shell themes
* The codec, font, mime handler installation support is moving from gnome-
packagekit to gnome-software, with a new UI

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** Keep existing GNOME packages updated
** Follow upstream module changes
** Package new applications and new dependencies of existing GNOME packages 
for GNOME 3.16:
*** gnome-taquin
*** gnome-2048

* Other developers: N/A 
* Release engineering: N/A
* Policies and guidelines: N/A 

== Contingency Plan ==
GNOME 3.16 will be released in March 2015 and fits well into Fedora 22 
schedule. In case of issues with individual modules that aren't either 
released in time or aren't deemed suitable for Fedora 22, we'll continue using 
the GNOME 3.14 versions of these modules.

* Contingency mechanism: The Workstation WG evaluates the GNOME 3.16 
prerelease before beta freeze and reverts individual changes as needed.
* Contingency deadline: beta freeze
* Blocks release? No
