-  <title>Welcome to GNOME &gnomeversion;</title>
+  <title>Introducing GNOME &gnomeversion;, “Gothenburg”</title>
 
-  <p>Introduction text.</p>
+  <p>GNOME &gnomeversion; is the latest version of GNOME 3, and is the result of 6 months' hard work by the 
GNOME community. It contains major new features, as well as numerous smaller improvements and bug fixes. The 
release incorporates &gitcommits; changes, made by approximately &gitauthors; contributors.</p>
 
-  <section id="">
-    <title></title>
+<p>&gnomeversion; is code-named “Gothenburg” in recognition of this year's GUADEC host city. In future, each 
GNOME release will be named in this way.</p>
+
+  <section id="google-drive">
+    <title>Google Drive Integration</title>
+    <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>With GNOME &gnomeversion;, it is now possible to access Google Drive directly from the Files 
application, as well as from file chooser dialogs. To use the feature, simply add your Google through the 
Online Accounts settings, and Google Drive will automatically appear in the files places sidebar whenever you 
are.</p>
+    <p>File upload and folder creation are both supported. Recognised files are opened using your local, 
native applications. Files that are specific to Google Drive are opened using the browser.</p>
+  </section>
+
+  <section id="files-improvements">
+    <title>Files Improvements</title>
+    <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>&gnomeversion; includes numerous improvements to the files experience. A new location has been added 
to the files places sidebar, called <gui>Other Locations</gui>. This provides a useful overview of local 
volumes, as well as network locations. These locations are no longer add to the sidebar by default, which 
helps to avoid clutter. The places sidebar has also been updated to make it easier to add bookmarks by drag 
and drop.</p>
+    <p>Other changes include:</p>
+    <list>
+      <item><p>Dialogs for creating folders have been introduced, alongised popovers for renaming files and 
folders. This helps to avoid errors, and allows helpful feedback to be provided. This change was introduced 
following user testing results.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Recursive search is now automatically disabled when searching remote locations, in order to 
prevent performance problems.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Better feedback when no search results are found.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Feedback about ongoing operations has been streamlined, with a new indicator in the header 
bar. This allows you to easily see progress on ongoing operations from any Files window, and means that popup 
windows won't get in the way.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Improved touch screen compatibility, particularly through context menus.</p></item>
+    </list>
+    <p>Many of these changes can be found in file chooser dialogs, as well as Files. At the same time, yile 
choosers have received their own improvements:</p>
+    <list>
+      <item><p>A new search feature, which is activated by just typing and is consistent with other GNOME 
applications.</p></item>
+      <item><p>An improved recent files list, which now shows the location of each file.</p></item>
+      <item><p>Refined save dialogs, which now have the file name in the header bar.</p></item>

+    <title>Firmware Update Capability</title>
+    <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
+    <p>In the past, it has been difficult to update device software (such as BIOS) under GNOME. This has now 
changed, with the new <link href="https://beta-lvfs.rhcloud.com/";>Linux Vendor Firmware Service</link>, which 
aims to make it possible for hardwark manufacturers to distribute firmware updates.</p>
+    <p>With &gnomeversion;, Software has built-in support for the Linux Vendor Firmware Service, which will 
enable you to easily install firmware updates for you device, in the same way that you install other software 
updates.</p>

GNOME application suite. It is attractive, simple to use, and is fully integrated with GNOME 3, including 
Online Accounts integration.</p>
