+      Need to split out message stray from notifications.

+   In conception, the GNOME 3 notifications system hits all the right points:
+   give a non-intrusive indication when there is a new notification, let someone
+   inspect it further and respond in place, and provide a place where
+   notifications can be reviewed and interacted with.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+   There were, however, issues with the execution of the GNOME 3 notifications
+   model. We observed all of these issues during testing, and it was something
+   that we received a lot of feedback on. Well, we listened, and we came up with
+   something better.
+  <p>
+
+  <p>
+    A brief overview of the changes made in 3.6:
+  </p>
+
+  <list>
+    <item>
+      <p>less intrusive</p>
+      <p>XXX - less popups when something is fullscreen</p>
+    </item><item>
+      <p>more noticeable</p>
+      <p>XXX - only hide after interaction</p>
+    </item><item>
+      <p>a close button</p>
+      <p>XXX - the action to close a notification bubble was non-obvious.</p>
+    </item>
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    XXX - screenshot
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+   There are quite a few other changes to notifications included in 3.6. Weâve tweaked the behaviour of the
+   notification popups to make sure that people donât miss them. Close buttons have been added, and the online status
+   of contacts is now indicated with an icon. Altogether, these should make the tray and notifications more effective
+   and easier to use.
+  </p>
