Well I guess we should start asking people to put banners to their blogs 
and present at their local Linux User Groups. GNOME Shell is pretty 
stable at the moment (well my experience, ymmv). Having people starting 
to explain the differences, showcase and explain how to install from git 
all over the world right now would be nice and helpful to start building 
critical mass for release date and target a less geeky audience.
