Is there no GNOME Builder features we can talk about?  Seems like we haven't
really talked about any of the developer type stuff in the release notes.

The list I included was for the "for users" section. There will be a
"for developers" section too, as usual.

One thing I'm not sure about is how much attention to give multitouch
touchpad gestures, since they are a Wayland-only feature
...
My opinion is to hype it up, we do need testing of Wayland features.  Most
of the Wayland bugs should be improved this round, right?  Maybe Matthias
can weigh in on it, but I personally would love to talk about Wayland only
features as teasers.

That makes sense, and I'd be fine to mention it somewhere. The
question is one of prominence - it might sound a bit desperate to have
a headline feature that won't be "on by default".

I don't see why Wayland won't be accessible to most people, it's just a
decision of which session, right?  I assume you mean that the Wayland
experience in GNOME is still not going to be quite good enough to warrant a
full switch?

I was hoping that this would be the release where we declare that
GNOME is "Wayland ready". However, it seems like we're not quite there
yet (Christian's recent blog post on the subject [1] is probably a
good indication of where things are at right now).
