extensions.gnome.org is going to be finished soon
Though I no it is not according to "design", some gnome-shell
maintainers even hate it I think. We'll need to think of the message to
send.
IMO, as a funny reference, we should put a car analogy in there. I'm
thinking of:
- most people just buy a car with a few options and use it
- select amount likes to customize their car to make it their own, for
better or worse (like to have two pictures of a nice concept car, but
also a questionable one with right copyright license)
then announce extensions.gnome.org, close that our goal remains to
provide a desktop which by default works for the 99%, but that we also
think that those we do like to tweak their desktops should have an easy
method to do so.
Note my wording: 99% excludes kernel hackers. Not sure if we should say
something about that explicitly or not.
Ideally I'd like to give a few selected news sites access to
extensions.gnome.org a few days before. As Dec 1 is later than when it
should be finished, hope that is possible. Thinking the usual ones who
report about GNOME (no matter if negative or not) in article style (so
no news.ycombinator.com) or slashdot type websites, they'll link to a
blog anyway).
Owen+Jasper (in cc): Do you agree to a marketing handled release (so
instead of just making available when ready, make available when timing
is right)?
