Summary
The Gnome menu system has not been radically altered in quite some time. There is some issues that need to be addressed.
Rationale
The Current menu structure is less than ideal in certain places.
Use cases
- Sally uses Ubuntu because here step-son installed it for her. She is confused by System Tools and System menus. She doesn't understand the seperation
Scope
The Gnome menu structure
Design
Implementation
Migrate the items out of Applications-->System Tools. Some of them can die, others to Accesories, others to System-->Admin.
Code
Data preservation and migration
None
Outstanding issues
We should probably coordinate with upstream (Gnome) during their 2.14 cycle.
