Due to release schedules, it seems obvious to me that F18 will not

will be released by late September.
I don't know that that is likely.
Aside from the fact that Mathias didn't submit the SuperFeature for 3.6
(I let him know yesterday that it looks like he forgot to move it over
to featurereadyforwrangler) - it looks like it is coming along.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome3.6
Both Gnome and Fedora are on time-based schedules - and have been
running parallel to each other for many, many releases - their beta hits
before our alpha, their hard code freeze (no new code, fixes only) hits
before our beta change deadline/features 100% complete deadline, so
basically anything after both their hard code freeze and our 100%/beta
deadline is all going to be bugfixes, and the gnome folks do a decent
job of keeping fedora in close sync with upstream. So apart from "no
feature page" I don't really see any reason why 3.6 wouldn't make it
(aside from unforeseen disaster), unless there is something major and
traumatic that I have missed :)
One of the much anticipated features in Gnome 3.6 is Skydrive support
in addition to Google Docs files.
So the $1M question is... how difficult is it to create RPMs of Gnome
3.6 beta to run atop F18 (when released).
Is there a "fire-and-forget" build script that an end user (not dev)
like me can use?
Or is there any Fedora dev routinely offering beta-level Gnome
packages for Fedora?
The feature page says that 3.5.4 (which is basically "development of
3.6" - AIUI they flip the switch to the 3.6 number as soon as a release
candidate from 3.5.9x is declared awesome) is in rawhide.

Just curious... ;) I guess I can´t wait for 2013 to run F19 with Gnome
3.6 ;)
