Fedora-desktop list is not getting much traffic. All of the desktop team 
  plans usually happen in a internal list and is completely opaque till 
it  hits the development tree. One of the problems with that is it 
wrongly appears that there is no desktop development work going on 
within Fedora.

Very few folks participate here or in any fedora list but that isnt a 
problem isolated to one specific team. Please consider having regular 
open irc development discussions, post meeting minutes updates, as many 
of the sub project like extras,ambassadors, infrastructure etc have been 
doing.

Also the only plan for the GNOME desktop spin (not talking about KDE 
spin as Rex Dieter is the owner) listed is the detailed spec about fast 
user switching. Other than the new icon theme, do we have additional 
things to look at?  Telepathy? PulseAudio? There has been several other 
things discussed in earlier releases and now such as evaluating init 
replacements, codec buddy, GDM early login, stateless linux. home user 
backup etc which the team might want to keep track of.
