[opensuse-project] Your thoughts on major features.
Heya all, The GM is not ready yet so I'll wait a bit with sending out stuff to the press. That means there's still time to fix/add to the Product Highlights. They are now on the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights I would LOVE feedback on what our major features are in the openSUSE 12.1 release. Right now, I claim it is: 1.1 Latest Free Desktops introduce color management, GNOME Shell and more 1.1.1 KDE introduces Oyranos, Apper and Plasma Active 1.1.2 GNOME Shell - improved and refined 1.1.3 The other desktops 1.2 openSUSE offers latest web and cloud technologies 1.2.1 Web surfing and serving (mentions Chromium 16, Firefox, WebYaST and Horde 4) 1.2.2 Supporting Cloud technologies (talks about EC2 support, Xen/KVM/VB and the repo with Eucalyptus, OpenNebula and OpenStack) 1.3 Improved distribution technology 1.3.1 Snapper rolls back changes 1.3.2 systemd boots your system 1.3.3 Write in go, compile with Clang or GCC Please, if I missed things or talked something up which is not big, let me know. If you have something you'd like to talk up, try to explain why we're "best, first or only" (etcetera, see http://ietherpad.com/2jE5Z40A3A) and please help us write about the feature in the http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights Thanks, Jos

I already made deaththreats to Jos if he put unstable/playground stuff in a release announcement for serious and respectable distro. Put that sh*t in a blog post or sumfink geeky. Not in mainstream communications. Also I didn't think plasma-active was included in the distro. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

Yeah, that could be interesting. You could add it to the bottom of the KDE part in the product highlights, I made a section just for you. Add stuff and I'll review & publish it :D

Firefox is considered a release or product highlight? I would have thought that's pretty much standard nowadays. I am not familiar with the upcoming release but in general any major improvement of existing software, any new interesting software, or any software that isn't available in other Linux distributions could be considered a product highlight. I am sure those of you familiar with the upcoming release should be able to put a couple of bullet points next to each category.

I think that LibreOffice deserve a bit more space :-) I have slightly updated the section about LibreOffice. It is pending the review. The old text was: --- cut --- The latest [http://libreoffice.org '''Libreoffice'''] release brings a large number of small additions and improvements like the ability to add and remove color charts, a named range as data source and supporting an unlimited number of fields in the DataPilot (now named Pivot Table), Greek Character mode for numbering in Writer and much more. As usual, much performance work was done decreasing the size of LibreOffice and improving startup speed. Text rendering and theming have received a major overhaul, making LibreOffice fitting better in your desktop. --- cut --- The new text is: --- cut --- The latest [http://libreoffice.org '''Libreoffice'''] release brings a large number of additions and improvements like the ability to add and remove color charts, a named range as data source and supporting an unlimited number of fields in the DataPilot (now named Pivot Table), autofilter per sheet support, redesigned Move/Copy Sheet dialog, new Find toolbar, Greek Character mode for numbering in Writer, new 3D border types, internationalized font previews, and [http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.4 much more].

For example, there is a massive re-work of external reference handling. It is not that visible but it will makes many things much easier in the future. Also I added few more interesting features and link to the release notes. I hope that I proceed it the right way.
