Some people are slightly confused about what Gnome 3 actually is. The biggest myth is
Gnome Shell == Gnome 3
Actually its very far from the truth, in fact there is a lot of work that has nothing to do with user interface.
The second biggest myth is
Gnome will drop all support for Gnome-Panel

I was playing about with docky (its based from gnome do but its for window management) so I put it in gnome-shell for the window management. Have a look I also have the ubuntu netbook launcher too.
I had an insane idea. I thought how about installing the Ubuntu netbook remix launcher and run it inside Gnome-Shell. It turns out that it looks awesome. I love it
I was wondering what effect a release of Ubuntu 9.10 being released at the same time as Windows 7 and Mac “Snow leopard”.
First thing we have to ask is are we ready?
I think no but Karmic+1 we will be in my opinion. Some things that other operating systems have by default we are missing.
Totem and [...]

I can mark a few of my points as done or at least being done as we speak.
If they replace rhythmbox and totem with banshee it would fix my point about having a unified media player like itunes or windows media player.
Gnome-Zeitgeist has file tags and makes it easier to access applications etc.
Shaking up the [...]
