I've changed loads of things. See
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.2/index.html.en (I like
this more than the yelp output).

Question:
 * how wide should screenshots be? I used 800px for sushi, but copied a
   lot from other sources, widest screenshot is 1040px or so

Planned user structure (it mostly already looks like this):
 - user changes
 - online accounts (ideally in "better integration", but need it to
   explain Documents, Contacts)
 - web applications
 - contacts
 - documents
 - quick preview / sushi
 - greater integration, with loads of subsections such as:
    - colour stuff
    - wacom
    - messaging
    - new gdm
    - loads more (please just see the url)
 - new help
 - more beautiful
 - shell extensions
 - "there's more"

==> anyone disagree with this layout? I killed the gnome-control-center
section. IMO it should be explained where it makes sense.

Working on:
 - finished sections should have the references (URLs, etc) as comments
   in the source
 - more screenshot (I am a screenshot junkie)
 - IMPORTANT: fact checking
 - screenshots for stuff I cannot do, e.g. wacom, colour management
 - maybe add a section for: "Redesigned user interaction in the file
   chooser dialog (see federicos posts for details)" / put it as a
   sort of footnote together with Documents?

Oh, the amount of changes in GNOME 3.2 is just amazing. Who knew that
e.g. totem can now rotate your movies? Just a one-liner...
