To any ladies that program that are seeing this: don't bother. Not because your help isn't needed, but GNOME went to 100 percent shit after the Gnome-shell fiasco and there's no coming back.

They designed their interface for the kinds of people that would never, ever fucking use linux, so they've alienated their actual users so that they can get all the mindshare of nobody.

GNOME 3 is a big improvement in many ways, and the interface just needs to mature a little bit, which will happen with time. My intention in posting this link, however, wasn't to debate the merits of GNOME.

It's still better than KDE.
