[orca-list] Ubuntu 18.04 to ship a GNOME desktop.

[Luke Yelavich <luke yelavich canonical com>]

Hey folks.
Some of you know of this already, but I think its worth mentioning this 
anyway. Canonical have just announced that Ubuntu 18.04 will be shipping a 
GNOME based desktop environment. I do not yet know any details, and there are 
questions that I have too, but I will come back with more information when I 
have it. Here is the full announcement.

I am pretty sure I will be able to spend a lot of time on this, so I think it 
would be a good idea to put together a list of paper cut bugs that need to be 
addressed in GNOME shell itself for a start. I can already think of a couple 
of things, one accessibility related, the other being overall performance 
related. I am sure some of you have noticed how sluggish GNOME shell feels 
even on a fast system with a good GPU.

Anyway, more information as it comes to hand.
