Re: Maybe help ease the pain of 2.20 release notes?

AHA! gotcha.

That's very doable and will lead to some very good
release notes this time around. I pitched the idea of tasks in a
previous email. So maybe a task page can be set up for Scenarios or
whatever we'll call them, and assign either to a team or an individual
or whatever. Any thoughts on managing that way?

I mean the scenarios.

So: Here's a problem that a blind computer user encounters every day.
Here's a way that GNOME has helped fix it.

I don't think it has - that makes for the nicest screencasts, but if you
look at most of the functionality going in, it's been more about ease of
use, accessibility, polish in the sense of making things Just Work.

What's been lacking is a drive in a particular direction. Which means
lots of small advances in different directions, but doesn't make for a
coherent approach which makes a big leap forward for anyone.

Cheers,
Dave.
