+    This is a big one, and it is something that has been on the drawing board
+    for a while. The lock screen has a single primary aim: to provide useful
+    functionality when the screen is locked. Right now, this means we:
+  </p>
+
+  <list>
+    <item><p>
+      show the time and date in nice big letters, so you can see it when not directly in front of the device
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+      allow pausing and skipping media playback, as well as changing the volume
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>
+      display notifications, so that you can see what is happening even if the
+      device is locked, and you can get a summary of what youâve missed when you
+      return to your machine (you can turn this off if you have privacy
+      concerns, and we plan to add extra configurability in the future)
+    </p></item>
+  </list>
+
+  <p>
+    You shouldnât have to enter a password in order to pause a song that you are
+    playing, and you shouldnât have to dig around your machine to see what has
+    happened while you are away. With the lock screen, you no longer have to.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    The new lock screen also accomplishes several secondary goals. It creates a
+    much smoother and more satisfying login experience. Creating the lock
+    screen, we wanted to make something that feels nice to use, and which sets
+    the tone for your encounter with your device. To that end, weâve given the
+    lock screen a nice, tactile quality. The screen is designed to resemble a
+    curtain, or a shield, that is removed to reveal the login screen beneath.
+    That suggestion of layering and physicality enhances the experience of using
+    GNOME 3, and is a pattern that is being introduced in other places.
+  </p>
+
+  <note style="hint">
+    <title>Keyboard shortcut</title>
+    <p>The new lock screen is of course accessible by more than a mouse. Press
+    escape to get to the password prompt</p>
