Thanks, Brian. I agree with all your comments and will incorporate them. (The deskbar changes ended up in communication because I originally tried to make that a "web 2.0 connection" type category but that didn't work well.)
Anybody else? Any of our regular press writing folks?

Better late than never, I think we should put together a press release.
I believe it should be short and highlight at most 3 things/themes. Or at
least the first paragraph should say everything important and highlight at
most 3 things and then the rest of the press release can include more
detail.
Here's the three I'd suggest just from reading the release notes:
- A new suite of communication tools: audio/video conferencing (Ekiga),
"communication and multimedia" might be more accurate.
Ekiga isn't new. The Ekiga 3.0 release is a great step forward, though.
Might want to make that more clear.
new instant messaging client (Empathy), even better digital tv, and deskbar
plug-ins to bring the web and tools to your environment. (Might be better
just to highlight audio/video conferencing tool.)
The Deskbar changes aren't really related to communication or
multimedia.
Also the improved sound theme support fits into "multimedia".
- Continued support of the core GNOME values with enhanced accessibility
features and support for developers. (Could list a few examples.)
Although the release notes don't highlight this, there has been a fair
bit of infrastructure work. gnome-session, gnome-settings-daemon and
GDM have all been rewritten in order to take better advantage of D-Bus
and work better.
Brian
