A recipe for disaster for any project for sure. Many of you will think 
why some people like me was still reading this list, I just want to know 
or get informed on user feedbacks, that is my main goal and to get 
neutral on every issue at hand. I am against = all positive feedbacks as 
this is against the reality, because there should be issues that needs 
to be resolved in every 1st release of software, as I am a application 
developer myself.

I still have high hopes for GNOME Shell at least for next 3.2 release 
and will start from there, this is a decision that I've made, and I 
cannot make this decision if I not through this list. I hope you will do 
the same regardless of the deaf ears we currently having. The reason why 
I'm here is because I need to decide of which desktop shell I will 
recommend and use= GNOME Classic vs. Unity vs. GNOME Shell vs. KDE for 
our users = for business and the NGO's computers where I volunteered. So 
a comment like this:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2011-May/msg00303.html
is insulting and counter-productive. They do not know that in the other 
end, the person may have thousands of users under him who is willing to 
use GNOME Shell.

My current understanding is hot key-combinations are only good for some 
certain users who are developers. But for pro-audio/multimedia/graphic 
artists, that keyboard shortcuts is a pain.

Please give a change for the 3.2 release, my opinion...
