I've just read over the release notes in git. Sorry for not doing this
sooner. I realize the notes are already supposed to be frozen, so I've
listed only things that I think are critical language problems.
== What's New for Users, p2-3
"This includes smooth scrolling..."
"Other highlights for this release include a new document search
facility, smooth scrolling..."
"smooth scrolling" is listed twice.
== What's New for Users, p3
"smooth scrolling, a new application, called Boxes, video calling"
The comma between "application" and "called" makes it seem like
"called Boxes" is another item in the list. It's not necessary.
Drop it.
== Application Menus, p3 (note)
"This as a hidden menu bar is more difficult to use together with
focus-follows-mouse."
I can't parse this sentence.
== Many Application Enhancements, last item
"making it less work to setup your email account"
"setup" is a noun. "set up" is a verb.
== What's New for Developers
Periods are used inconsistently at the end of list items, even those
that are complete sentences. Minor, but I wanted to point it out.
== Improved Developer Documentation
This section really needs to be removed. I backed out the changes to the
Platform Overview because they aren't ready.
== Getting GNOME 3.4, p2
"If you want to try out GNOME, download one of our live images. These
are available on our Getting GNOME page."
** points to http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/
It's a bit odd to point people to that page when it doesn't have any
images for 3.3/3.4. It only has 3.2 images.
