Interesting Improvements In GNOME 2.24

,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this year prior to the release of GNOME 2.22 we had shared eight 
| interesting improvements in GNOME 2.22. Some of these improvements included 
| Epiphany with the WebKit back-end (if built with the proper argument), Evince 
| Document Viewing improvements, Cheese web-camera software, Mousetweaks, the 
| Vinagre VNC client, and Totem enhancements. Now with the official GNOME 2.24 
| release due out next month, this time around we're sharing a few of the 
| interesting highlights for this GNOME update.

GNOME 3.0 Is Coming, And Coming Soon!

,----[ Quote ]
| The K Desktop Environment community came out earlier this year with their
| brand new KDE 4.0 release that marked significant advancements to this
| open-source desktop environment compared to its KDE 3.5.x code-base.
| Meanwhile, the GNOME community has been living in a 2.0 cycle for quite some
| time with no signs of a major overhaul, but their six-month release cycles
| just continue to deliver new refinements and minor improvements. The plans
| for GNOME 3.0 just put this release out when there is significant API/ABI
| breakage to GNOME 2.0 / GTK+ or a major rewrite. Well, in addition to
| announcing Stormy Peters joining GNOME, at GUADEC 2008 they have just
| announced plans for GNOME 3.0!
|
| [...]
|
| The only real information that has hit the blogs so far is that GNOME 2.30 =
| GNOME 3.0.

Plans for Gtk+/GNOME 3.0 surfaced

,----[ Quote ]
| At the GNOME conference GUADEC plans were presented how the transition to the
| new Gtk and GNOME is supposed to happen. The basic idea is to make the
| transition as smooth as possible by first cleaning up everything and
| introducing new concepts later on.
