Hey,

I think it'd be nice to make it easy for people to test the GNOME 3
stuff in 11.2. A few things this could imply:

+ having a nice http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/3.0 page explaining how to
setup everything (with one-click install links), what should be
tested, etc.

+ have good documentation (with one-click install) on at least those
topics:
- gnome-shell
- new accessibility stack
- zeitgeist?

This is not done :/ I can create the one-click install files, but help
is really needed for the documentation part.

I suggest to push zeitgeist to Contrib for now, since it never made it
in Factory, so it will be easy to create one-click install links that
don't involve adding GNOME:Factory for the user. I've done the
submissions (#21968 and #21969).

And here's a preliminary version of the one-click install file. I have
no idea where we could host it. Please feel free to improve the
summaries/descriptions (mainly of the ymp file itself, and of the
repos). Also we'll have to change Factory to 11.2 once 11.2 is out.

The main item left is the documentation page. I won't have time to work
on that...

Vincent

<summary>Bundle of packages that gives a preview of GNOME
3</summary>
<description>This bundle of packages lets you preview GNOME 3.
It will install:
- GNOME Shell: the core of the new GNOME interface. You can choose GNOME 3
Preview in GDM to test it.
- Zeitgeist: a new way to access your document.
- New accessibility stack: the accessibility stack was rewritten. To test it,
you only need to enable accessibility in your GNOME session.

<description>Zeitgeist is a service which logs
the users's activities and events
(files opened, websites visites, conversations hold with other people,
etc.) and makes relevant information available to other applications.

It has support for tagging items (both automatically by the data
provider and manually by the user) and bookmarking items. Further, it is
able to establish relationships between items based on similarity and
usage patterns (this feature isn't implemented yet).

This is the Zeitgeist backend engine.</description>
