I dont see much difference for KDE screenshots between 12.3 and 13.1 .

Do we need to take screenshots still?

Well, if there is NO difference, then not - but note that there are many screenshots needed for specific things like new features. For example: KDE: * screenshot of battery applet showing multiple batteries and/or the mixer applet showing media player controls (new features!) * screenshot of KStars' new "interesting events" * screenshot of "send later" feature in KMail * lightdm? plasma-nm? GNOME: * screenshot of Header Bars & the new status bar screenshot or two of GNOME applications: Music, Maps, Photos, Tweak Tool, Boxes... Applications: * screenshot of RTL support in LO writer * Impress: "Photo Album" allows to create slideshows from a series of pictures -> screenshot! * screenshot of a development tool/IDE with a new language, like Perl, Ruby, Go.... * screenshots of Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus, Krita and other graphics applications (krita most important, the rest didn't change) * screenshots of Amarok, Rythmbox and other music players * LibreOffice, Calligra (Words or Stage or so) We need those screenshots for the Feature guide and for the press (they will end up in reviews on websites and in magazines!) So that is really important... Please help out if you can! And mind the guidelines, screenshots taken in 1920x1080 are simply not very useful for printing or as thumbnail on websites, so make sure the shots are taken in a lower resolution; and with default theme etc etc (see top of the screenshot page).

Heya,

Beta is out - aiaiai, that means, we have to be working on the feature list! I just did the kernel: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features#Linux_kernel_3.11

But there is a lot more. Who can make a summary of what GNOME 3.10 brings compared to the release of GNOME Shell 3.6 in openSUSE 12.3? That means, indeed, summarizing the release announcements of 3.8 and 3.10 in one go.

I wrote most of KDE's 4.11 announcement so I can do the KDE section... Unless somebody else feels like doing that, of course!

And there's much more to work on, of course. Michal has created a script to automatically mail people who work on packages which have seen major changes and ask them if they can help out, let's see if some do... But we should try and do our thing as well.

If you wonder WHAT to do and HOW - there's a wiki page for that! https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Product_highlights_writing

Marketing and artwork people!

We need screenshots. Lots of them. I have set up a page: https://en.opensuse.org/Screenshots_13.1

Please, if you have 13.1 RC1 or factory running, go there, and update a few screenshots from 12.3 to 13.1!
