GNOME Journal Issue 23 (GNOME 3 edition) is out

We've now published a new edition of GNOME Journal! This one focuses on 
the launch of the 3.0 version of your favorite desktop environment. You 
can read these now at http://gnomejournal.org :

* "Letter From The Editor": Editor-in-Chief Paul Cutler celebrates the 
release, and discusses innovation, pain, and history.

* "How We Got Here: A Design History of GNOME 3 & the Shell": Daf 
Harries asks designers Jon McCann and Jakub Steiner the hard questions.

* "PyGTK, GObject, and GNOME 3": Sumana Harihareswara interviews Tomeu 
Vizoso and John "J5" Palmieri about PyGTK, GObject, introspection and 
PyGObject. What's new, what's been surprising, and what's next?

* "The Two Most Urgent Tasks: Simplicity and a Keyboard": Cathy Malmrose 
of Linux hardware firm ZaReason asks the GNOME community to solve the 
two biggest pain points she sees.

* "Fonts in GNOME 3: Cantarell, Tweaking, and Trailblazing": Nicolas 
Spalinger explains why Cantarell is more than just a font -- it's a 
symbol of a whole new design process. And he shows you how to tweak the 
font settings in GNOME 3.
