If you’re a GNOME Shell user who took fancy to the ‘Update Manager Indicator’ we featured last Friday and want something similar for your own system – you’re in luck!
GNOME3 packages begin trickling into Ubuntu 11.10
Due to the high priority of Unity in the Ubuntu 11.04 development cycle, the inclusion of GNOME3 into Ubuntu were postponed until 11.10, and Unity was shipped in Ubuntu 11.04 as a shell for GNOME2 instead.
Not wanting to waste any time, development on 11.10 started yesterday and GNOME3 packages have begun landing in Ubuntu 11.10.

Gnome-Shell gets a Live CD
GNOME-Shell is very nearly upon us – but it’s been an absolute age since I last played with it myself (been knee deep in Natty, folks!).

Awesome Elementary GNOME-Shell theme
GNOME-Shell or Unity: whichever desktop shell you choose chances are your favourite GTK+ theme will need to update to take advantage of the new features and elements offered by both.
The following GNOME Shell by deviant artist ~half-left should placate the brooding elementary fans amongst you worried about the switch to Shell.
Tron Legacy GNOME Shell theme is all kinds of cool
There are themes and then there are really freaking cool themes.

Bringing Sexy back to GNOME Shell with Zeitgeist
Seif Lotfy – Zeitgeist creator, hacker and all round semantic solider – has spent the last few days bringing Zeitgeist love to GNOME Shell. With both Unity and KDE to benefit from Zeitgeist it’s nice to see it rocking up in Shell, too.

Dock extension for GNOME Shell
If there’s one aspect of Gnome Shell that many users don’t like it’s the inability to switched between windows as quickly as that of a traditional taskbar or dock.
With the following extension by a developer called Torb you can easily add a dock-like bar to the right-side of your screen that gives you this & more.
I may be biased but this is the best GNOME-Shell theme I have ever seen…

Progress OMG! contributor om26er took the daily build of GNOME-Shell for a spin and found some nice new features. You can click [...]
Gnome 3.0 To Be Delayed Until September 2010?
Gnome 3.0, which is due to bring the love/hate Gnome-Shell to users desktops, was originally slated in for a March 2010 release. This may now be pushed back to September 2010 due to the “beta quality” of Gnome-Shell; there is just too much work to be done on it and just not enough time. As [...]
