On that topic, there have been a few really good blog entries and writeups explaining the cool features of KDE4 and Activities.... is there something similar for the new Gnome 3 that could be shared here?
As a user I looked at the websites and was dreading GNOME3. And at first it was "how the $#@*@( do I do anything?!?!". After a week or so.... I'd never go back. So the initial-shock factor is very much at play here, IMNSHO. <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com/2011/05/fortnight-with-gnome3.html>
On the KDE4 side, a lot of the grumpiness tends to be centred around not understanding the changes, and I would assume the same applies here.. people start it up.. don't immediately see the point and lash out on the mailing lists. Maybe a nicely written "this is what's cool about Gnome 3 and why it'll actually help you do your job" writeup that's aimed at the transitioning user would help?
I really honestly can't image anyone would choose *NOT* to use the new features. If they don't help the user.... I have no clue what the user is doing [and there seems to be a group that doesn't actually *USE* a desktop/computer - they just fiddle with it and tweak things]. <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com/2011/12/gnome3-journal-extension_12.html> <http://piecesoflint.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/10-things-i-love-about-gnome-3/> <http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/> Pretty and multimedia! -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
