Culled from the NEWS file, bugzilla, and IRC:
* Add an on-screen keyboard that uses Caribou as a backend
[Nohemi, Dan; #612662]
- Useful for both accessibility and tablets.
* Allow searching for people in the overview using libfolks
as the backend [Morten; #643018]
- We also need to document Contacts. Tie this in there?
* Rework user menu to separate out "Do Not Disturb" from the IM
status and to visually match GNOME Contacts. [Florian; #652837]
- I know we mention this. Check the behavior.

* Stop using nm-applet for dialogs; do them as proper system modal
dialogs in the shell code. [Giovanni; #650244]
- Not sure if this affects anything.
* Add a "Login Screen" mode to be used when GDM is running; this
mode has a stripped down user interface, and also contains the
code to display the user list and authentication. [Ray; #657082]
- GDM is using this now.
- No fingerprint or smartcard support, which we have documented.
- Ray said he plans to implement fingerprint for 3.2. We'll get
a notification, because it's a UI change.
* Support default actions for notifications [Florian; #655818]
- Might affect what we tell people to do with notifications.
* Improve styling of messages [Jasper; #640271]
- Do we have screenshots?
* Add GNOME Documents to the favorites list [Adel; #657520]
- Documents is on the dash. But apparently, we're supposed to treat
it like a preview and not document it. Ugh.
* Support configuration of calendar applications via gsettings
[Tassilo; #651190]
- I don't think there's UI for changing the calendar, so this
probably isn't even worth mentioning.
* Take over inserted media handling and autorun from gnome-session
[Cosimo]
- Check the documented behavior against reality.
* Add a D-Bus interface to take a screenshot; this will avoid various
race conditions with the current gnome-screenshot approach
[Adel; #652952]
- Sounds like an implementation detail. Check if the UI changed.
* Display a count of unread notifications on icons
[Jasper, Guillaume; #649356, #654139]
- Sounds neat. Might or might not be worth mentioning.
* Make control-Return in the overview open a new window [Maxim]
- We also don't document Ctrl+click yet. We should.
* Fix various problems with keynav and the Activities button
[Dan; #641253 #645759]
- We probably need more docs on keyboard navigation in general.
* Show unmanaged devices in the menu [Giovanni; #646946]
- For networks. Not sure what this is about, but it sounds like
something we should look into.
* Show "hardware disabled" when disabled by rfkill [Giovanni; #648048]
- For Bluetooth. We might want to mention how the various ways of
turning BT on/off interact.
* Hide "power off..." option if shutdown is disabled via PolicyKit
[Florian; #652038]
- Probably only worth mentioning if we get an admin guide with info
on changing PK rules.
* Don't autohide the workspace pager if there is more than one workspace
[Florian; #652714, #653078, #653142]
- Don't think it affects docs, but it might be worth mentioning.
* Don't always slide out the workspace pager at drag begin
[Florian; #652730]
- Don't think it affects docs. Check.
* Only offer to remove a favorite app when dragging it's icon
[Owen; #642895]
- The trash icon only appears in the dash when dragging from the
trash, not when dragging from the Applications list or a window
of a favorite app.
