I wonder how we could attract more Gnome, erm, gnomes :) to help with
packaging?

I'm very interested in helping with gnome packaging/development, since
I'm a long time user of gnome. (I still have to finish qualifying as
a packager.)
Ok awesome that you would like to help package GNOME into Mageia :)!
That's a major reason why I moved to Mageia -- as well as all the
important mdv contributors that I knew of moving over ...
BTW, I hope that mga3 sticks with 3.6, at least at first.
There is no "at first" it is either released with 3.6.2 and stays using
that :( or hopefully uses the GNOME 3.8 series instead for the release :)!
Wasn't there a suggestion of possibly providing gnome 3.8 as an update
if released with gnome 3.6 ?
Until the "legacy" (classic/fallback) mode is stablised, and hopefully
that those now using the fallback mode for hardware reasons aren't
subjected to the snail pace of the current llvm emulation alternative.
I finally saw all of the video of the GNOME talk last night that I
missed at FOSDEM, since ended up else where instead:

If people watch from 29:50 the new classic mode gets mentioend again,
followed by how GNOME should work well enough now for most users without
3D acceleration as well. Before that section is also the part about how
GNOME uses SystemD now to an extent, but it can work without that as well.
As for llmpipe I have not had loads of slowness with it when running
GNOME Shell.
On my previous computer running mga2 with gnome 3.6, a portable without
3D acceleration, a 80x24 text page in the console took about 30 seconds
to display in gnome shell using llvmpipe -- definitely a show-stopper
Under gnome-classic, typically maybe a second to display the same page.
However if this problem is resolved, and the option of legacy mode is
available as an option at login, I agree that it would be a good idea to
release mga3 with gnome 3.8
The same computer could fairly quickly build (smaller) packages, so it
had enough power for normal use.
(Until disk failure in November. I haven't found a physically
compatible replacement disk.)
My replacement computer has 3D acceleration, so it doesn't need
llvmpipe. (But I still use classic mode, which I reconfigure to have a
single bar on top.)
Recently I noticed that gnome-shell is called mobile or iphone or tablet
mode by a number of commentators. It certainly doesn't seem appropriate
for desktop or laptop usage.
Andre by the way in your other email to this thread your message didn't
seem to show.
I had accidently double-clicked when opening the previous email :/
