GNOME 2.19.6 has been released yesterday. "This is our sixth development release on our road towards GNOME 2.20.0, which will be released in September 2007. New features are still arriving, so your mission is simple : Go download it. Go compile it. Go test it. And go hack on it, document it, translate it, fix it."

Exactly. Casual and non users really have very little idea where Gnome is and where it's actually going...
Unlike KDE4 which has been marketing itself very well (hopefully not too well...I trust they have the engineering to go with the hype though)
Glad to see we have two strong, powerful, featureful free desktops in existance. Different enough that the vast majority of users not only find they can use one of the two easily...But that they really LIKE using them.
Loving Gnome right now

Actually, I prefer a good stable well thought out release, over a lot of features that are only there for marketing reasons.
If you've got nothing to market, what have you got?
If they should do some more marketing, I would just suggest they do a few screenshots on the Gnome site, showing the enhancements in each release.
What are those screenshots going to show?
