I agree. One potential source could be
https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointOne/Features/FixAnnoyingThings

Also Allan had the idea to include some comparison screenshots between
3.0 and 3.2 to illustrate extra visual polish.

hadess was interested in improving touch-screen support[1], but assuming
that https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/Touchscreen is
up-to-date I unfortunately don't see big improvements in 3.2 worth to
mention - most issues still exist. :-/
