OK. My action plan is 1) write the memories.  I started a google document, but I haven't had enough time to do the job yet. I 
copy the table from the wikipedia as a base to start write small summaries of 
each release ASAP

https://docs.google.com/document/d/101nyeoVAES2hKJB2sXas1D7Zh00bI2YfhI2Hd-D4sL4/edit

Since version 2.0, we have release notes in

http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/ 

I think small memories will be enough (maybe in a table format) and Diego can write special reports for the releases he mentioned (1.4, 2.0, 2.14, 3.0 and 3.4) in a mini tour in the life of the gnome project

2) [tentative] to provide VMs for the releases Diego want to focus (1.4, 2.0, 2.14, 3.0 and 3.4) 
GNOME 1.4, Red Hat (done by Germán)
GNOME 2.0 ? 
GNOME 2.14 Ubuntu 6.04 
GNOME 3.0 OpenSUSE 11.4
GNOME 3.4  Fedora 17

Ideas about the different GNOME generations taken from http://jeudisdulibre.be/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bxl-jeudis-gnome-3.pdf

GNOME 1 =  Much more user friendly than typical windows managers, but not still ready for everybody

GNOME 2 = Made to be usable by everybody. GNOME applications should follow the Human Interface Guidelines (First document of this kind and scope in Free Software desktop space). Accessibility is integrated by switching from a “bolted-on” to a “built-in” model

GNOME 3 = _Designed_ to be usable by everybody. A much more holistic approach to take desktop usability to the next level. It incorporates support for modern form factors and internet services.

I think Bastien Nocera has a collection of old icons.
