https://extensions.gnome.org/ Do note that extensions are a pretty lousy solution for anyone who doesn't have a good internet connection (eg many of our users in Asia and South America). I hope we can provide them with a selection of extensions by default in our next release. Especially some which bring back a more familiar (and efficient*) desktop metaphor. *yes, I'm one of those who can't live without a decent taskbar Use your favorite package manager and install any of the packaged extensions (oh no! They come from the internet too! Not sure what we just won; installing them all by default does not strike me as the right approach).
+1 I'm not a fan of jamming in a bunch of extensions. But they can be toggled on an off with gnome-tweak-tool
Not all of those extensions are tweak-tool-able. And the downside with tweak-tool is many people still don't know about it. :-/
Then it would be to time to make some serious noise about it, right ;-) Seriously, I'm not that deep into GNOME nor am I in the position to decide something, so I can only suggest. I'd deliver GNOME 3.4 (this will be the release for 12.2, right?) with tweak-tool and a bookmark of extensions.gnome.org in Firefox. Why? There several people who are really happy with GNOME 3, and they might want to make their user experience even better, so they could have a quick look at extensions.g.o. There also people who aren't that happy with GNOME 3 but want to use it. For them, e.g.o would be the place of choice to configure GNOME 3 to their needs. In the end both sides won. @Jos Yes, slow internet connections are a problem. There's even the possibility to provide extensions via DVD, but this would require a bunch of $$$, infrastructure etc, so it would might be much more effort then it should be.
