Yet another thought: I think you certainly need to reorient Gnome from 
politics towards technology. Such things as 10x10 and spreadgnome.org 
looks very political. But gnome-tech.org for example is much better I 
think. Software-as-a-servant, not software-as-an-idol.

And about that HIG: guidelines have a tendency slowly but steadily to 
transform into constraints. It's much better to have principles instead 
of constraints.

And that principle about Gnome simplicity - it's good, but it should not 
be achieved at the expense of functionality. Being simple does not mean 
being less functional. For example credit card is quite simple, but its 
functionality surpass imagination ;)
