GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience. Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source, we would recommend building from version control using the build script described at: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and its dependencies to build from tarballs.

Here we are trying to fix what is not borken.
The gnome 2 clock + weather applet with its multiple time zone weather as far as I am concerned is a brilliant feature that ties practical relevant and related information into a convenient quick access format. Time and weather are initmately related in a practical sense. This feature is not found on any other desktop which I am aware. KDE, for example, has stubbornly refused to copy it. Now Gnome threatens to take it away. re: "... Widgets/Gadgets ...
One possibility that has been discussed as an alternative is turning the current clock dropdown into a full-featured widget layer; things that could be added to the layer might include weather, alarm clock, stock tickers, and so forth. Note that many of the features that are present in the GNOME 2 "intlclock" dropdown really are only approximately tied to the current time - things like weather really have no close tie to time. So, in this sense tying widgets to the clock dropdown is an expansion of GNOME 2 ideas. If widgets are done in some other way, we'll need to reintroduce to the clock at least some of the intlclck eatures that *are* closely tied to time, like multiple international clocks and evolution calendar integration.

stop trolling.
the datetime branch is bringing back the multiple timezone clock, and the weather information; it's still a work in progress, but it should be ready by the time GNOME 3.0 is released.
