I think there are a bunch of things that could be done to make the bigboard more attractive to users: - More stocks - People stock good enough to replace your buddy list - Mini-icon version of the app stock that takes up much less space - Pinning in the app stock working correctly - Single-click launch on file stock - Better search - More bling (last screenshot in http://live.gnome.org/OnlineDesktop/SidebarBling, say) But yes, at the moment, I admit that while I use it and find it an upgrade from the default GNOME config, it's not highly compelling. > > You can get the Gmail account name already.
