From my time in #banshee IRC, it's too early to tell what the Banshee release in Ubuntu will look like. They're trying to slim it down right now, so some community extensions may be missing in Ubuntu. Other than that, core functionality will be the same including music & video playback, podcasts, last.fm support, iPod support, etc.
The only other thing I'm personally watching is if they change the
Amazon referral codes.
I don't know if Banshee is somewhere I'd put my focus on. Yes, we had
Banshee first, I get that. We should be thinking about our GNOME user
experience vs. Unity, in my opinion. There are lots of rumblings in
the community that people who prefer GNOME are switching to Debian and
Fedora - how do we capitalize on that?

Banshee is our default since 11.0 atleast, Ever since we had slab menu, I don't remember seeing any other media player in it. May be for 11.4 GNOME screenshots, as part of announce mail, we can include Banshee's also (purchasing music from amazon). I believe we may not need anything more. But do you have any other suggestions ?
Well, since Ubuntu is going to place some lights on it, the best way to use that into our advantage is maybe to provide a more 'featured' release, though I don't know how that could become possible, or if it's already like that.
Any links to info regarding banshee? Something I can compare with the version that canonical is going to release and then see how we can take advantage of it.
Another thing I remember would probably be improving GNOME slide on the Installer slide show to something more objective and accurate. I have the artwork sources in gitorious for those files, so I can rewrite them, and they even support pictures :) (and .rtf ? wtf?).
By the way... I would like to suggest one thing for a future release, maybe on the major... Present the openSUSE GNOME Desktop as 'The choice of a generation'?
