Would like to but the Marketing Team has limited resources and we decided to focus all of our effort on current users of the GNOME 2.x desktop for this release cycle. If you are volunteering to do this, please feel free to jump in!

Yes, if you are, I can definitely help you some bit.  I am already looking for someone to help me write an article on GNOME 3 development specifically shell extensions and the like.  While the API is still unstable, something towards release time would be really awesome.

Hi!

I think is a good idea to improve the GNOME marketing for developers.
Obviously, what developers really appreciate is documentation, and the
documentation team is working hard on this area. I think is especially
interesting the set of 10-minute-tutorials they are working on [1].

However, I think that form the marketing point of view, the situation
can be improved a lot.

This presentation from Alberto Ruiz in 2008' GUADEC has very good valid
points about GTK+ marketing [2], which is the best/only known GNOME
technology for outsiders. I think this is very important because GTK+ is
receiving bad comments from people. Our collegues are working hard
turning GTK+3 into a very good piece of software and we must push it.

I think we must also to improve awareness of other GNOME technologies,
but because we must start from something, I think that GTK+ is the most
straigh-forward way. The key point from the marketing point of view is
unify the brand and websites of certified GTK+ bindings.


Cheers,
