I love this quote (below).  Andreas, Allan, et al. -- is there a place 
for this on gnome3.org?  Perhaps "what people are saying"?

It feels like you took the very impressive Unity interface and stepped it up another notch. Workspaces finally feel like they're reaching their potential and usefulness with Gnome 3!

Don,

Thank you so much for telling us this!  Would you mind if I forwarded
this around&  posted it on the web, with your name?

Sumana,

Of course, that's no problem. I really am impressed by what you guys did.

I don't know what Gnome's plans are for multitouch handling, but I could see this being the perfect interface for a tablet computer.I hope you guys do implement multitouch as I will be putting Linux on any tablet I get in the future and from what I've seen of Gnome 3, I think it's a better tablet interface than Android's honeycomb.
