When I talk about the GNOME ethos that drives us to make things easier for the user, I think about things like this. Think of all the manual steps that have been abstracted away & made better right down the stack to make this work: smb printer sharing, avahi for zeroconf service discovery, cups integration into the desktop... and of course the user interface which completely hides all this abstraction and makes things Just Work.

An alternative look at bounties to the rather ascerbic view I've taken on it. In my experience, they generate few new developers, little code, and little excitement.

Nice to see that accessibility work is getting funded through GNOME. It's one of the areas that doesn't get much attention but is important for everyone.

Ubuntu 10.04 will use GNOME 2.28 for its LTS release. This could be either a very sensible decision (because GNOME 3.0 is unproven at the moment), or a potential error (because if GNOME 3.0 is a success, Lucid Lynx will look old and outdated about three months after its release, when everyone else has adopted GNOME 3.0). It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
