I have recieved 250+ e-mails regarding GNOME in the past two days, and
am constructing a website nearly from scratch to handle all of this in
the process, under the ostensible goal of updating the existing website,
and then moving it to developer.gnome.org. I will process all requests,
add them to the website, and hopefully respond to all suggestions
personally. If you don't get a response right away, don't worry, thus
far I have only responded to the outlandish or the large scale, and only
added the smaller stuff.

As for a reaction, yes, I think the idea is a good one, and it will be
added to the `panel' section.
