I hope that before the release someone will take the lead on creating:

gnome.org/downloads (or maybe gnome.org/install or gnome.org/getgnome
?) Should contain links to/brief explanation of: liveCD, davyd's
footware, list of sites like
breakmygentoo/http://rubberturnip.org.uk/rpms/usr-local-bin.php/etc.,
building from tarballs with garnome, and finally building from CVS
with jhbuild.

and

gnome.org/applications- I've already discussed some with Andreas,
don't recall if this list was cc'd or not. Basically, a 'highlights'
page of some of the best GNOME apps, and pointers on how to find more.
If anyone wants to take this on, please contact me.

Both would be very useful to have in general, and should be easy for
someone with some free time and web skills to set up.

Yeah. Worst case it should be covered by the gnome.org/install or whatever.

thanks. :)
