Perhaps http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/ fills your needs to a certain
degree. I hope, I could help a little bit.


Thanks, this was actually pretty decent for a release note! But it is
mostly (not surprisingly) about new stuff.

How about making something like this available, that will detail the
current version. Highlight cool features, benchmarks against other
competing products, screenshots, installation guides, etc, and link that
page somewhere prominently on the front page?

You need to communicate better to sysadmins and end users, exactly why
they should consider GNOME, and what to expect. I realize that GNOME is
driven by voluntaries and that they probably prefer to code than to
write docs. But I'm sure a lot of people would want to contribute, but
don't feel they have what's needed to submit code. If I were any more
familiar with GNOME, I might consider contributing myself, but then
again, I can't until I either learn the hard way, or someone points out
a book.
