I agree. The only fault, if we can call that, is that she focus on the
past, but she didn't mention at all improvements since GNOME 3.0,
current status and future plans. Something like answer the question "Do
we have an action plan to get back to where we were before?" that you
made in this thread. So I think that it is worth to write a continuation
of her mail (what Juanjo is doing right now). Something that Joanmarie
already made somehow as a comment to her article.

I agree.
