Gnome is known for making subtle incremental changes instead of doing major overhaul, but the changes they have planned for Gnome 3 is much bigger than we have come to expect from Gnome.

Keep Mono out!

Note to any anti-mono developers out there...
Please rewrite mono infested software in the same way that Tomboy was. Gnote is becoming extremely popular just because it isn't infected. And, now that there is a non-mono alternative to Tomboy, it's getting dropped in favour of Gnote left right and centre.
