GNOME Journal Issue 17 released

To "The Un-Scary Screwdriver" and "Epiphany from a - not so experienced - user perspective" - I wonder what would happen if free software people spent half the time the do slapping themselves on the back observing unexperienced users and reporting the problems they run into? :)

To "Easy Breezy Beautiful GNOME Shell" - did I miss something, or is this essentially just integrating UI features from the Mac back into Gnome, like the "everything in one panel/menu bar"? And did I understand right that they even want to do a Mac menu? No complaints about that of course, but I would find it a bit humourous if the apex of ten years development was what Apple worked out on day one...
