Oups, sorry I misunderstood.
Np, I try to find some time, actually I've already started but I have to prepare
for my Developer Conference talks... Are you coming to Brno? ;-)
Yet the issue Kevin mentioned remains, I
hope he doesn't mind if I quote his words: 'Personally, I'm worried
about the reception:
* by upstream GNOME, seeing a derivative of their wallpaper on other
desktops,
* by the other desktops' upstreams,
* by third parties: reviewers, other distributions etc., due to the
message this sends ("Fedora 15 is a GNOME 3 distribution").'
Yes, I saw this. And that leads to my idea of sharing brand with upstreams
(spamming Design team for a few years with it ;-) - this is great first step -
sharing brand with Gnome, so I asked for [1].
Actually, Fedora is not a Gnome 3 distro only, we'd like to have Unity with Adam
in Fedora 15 too :) Not sure it's possible but would be great to have it. I
still think that Shell and Plasma are just reference implementation on top of
some platform and we should do the same as Canonical with Unity - build Fedora
user experience on one of these Platforms.
