Re: Ideas for "GNOME 3.0"

this sounds great, really.

i only disagree with multimedia being one of they key features to
advertise, because i don't think we'll ever be able to offer a
complete multimedia experience out-of-the-box, for licensing reasons.

mp3 will continue being patented, the dmca will continue criminalizing
libdvdcss, and so on... so the only solution i see is some kind of
post-install wizard, that offers to automagically offers to install
non-free and/or patented stuff, only if you declare you live in a
country without software patents  ;)

the other selling points (3d desktop and beagle-based
searching/tagging) sound great.  and if we can settle the multimedia
mess (via post-install wizard for example), it could be #3.
