Re: About The GNOME Mobile & Embedded Initative

["Peteris Krisjanis" <pecisk gmail com>]

In a nutshell, looking from long time GNOME user POV, marketing team
for GNOME project is essential, but real results are needed to gain
any respect/response:

* Release notes - already lot of people complaining on lot of sites -
slashdot.org, osnews.com - about lack of quality in last release
notes. Previously It was done better, I think we must get back on
track with this;

* Web site - wgo revamp is needed ASAP, and those mockups which have
fled around so far have been very nice, just need to finalize on
something and get implementing that whole thing. Keep up doing this
good job!

* Developer resources - aka library.gnome.org - again, it is already
in various people todo lists and job for marketing team here would be
keep everyone in touch and if there is need for resources, then trying
to organize them;

* About mobile initiative - I don't get harsh words flying around
about this, because it is so exciting thing, on which marketing team
should jump on ASAP; I understand disappointment about lack of
communication, but I guess we must get over it this time and see how
we can coordinate such scenarios without public exposure (due of legal
entities; we won't change corporation's way of thinking that
everything must be kept secret) in the future;

Just my humble opinion.
